New history for Arab and African football: Morocco reaches 5th place globally

Morocco has continued to make history by climbing to 5th place in the FIFA World Ranking, thus matching the best position ever achieved by an African national team, which was previously attained by Nigeria in 1994.

This historic achievement sees Morocco become the first Arab national team to reach fifth place in the FIFA rankings, having previously achieved sixth place as the best Arab ranking.

On the African front, Morocco has become the second team in the continent's history to reach fifth place globally, after Nigeria, which reached the same position in 1994.

This progress confirms the status that the Morocco national team has reached in recent years, as it has become one of the top teams on the African continent and continues to break its record numbers in the FIFA rankings.
