Morocco national football team
The Morocco national football team represents Morocco in men's international football. It is controlled by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the governing body for football in Morocco. It has been affiliated with FIFA since 1960, with the Confederation of African Football since 1959, and with the Union of North African Football since 2005. The team, which is known as the Atlas Lions, plays home matches at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, and trains at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé. Morocco is regarded as one of Africa’s most successful national football teams. They have won five continental titles, including the 1976 and 2025 editions of the African Cup of Nations. They won the African Nations Championship in 2018, 2020 and 2024. Morocco has qualified for the FIFA World Cup on seven occasions. In 1986, they made history as the first African team to win a World Cup group and advance to the knockout stage. At the 2022 World Cup, Morocco became the first African and first Arab team to reach a World Cup semi-final. They were also the third World Cup semi-finalist from outside Europe or South America. In 2025, Morocco set a world record for the longest winning streak in international football, achieving 19 consecutive victories across all competitions. Morocco was ranked 10th in the FIFA World Rankings in April 1998. They were Africa’s highest-ranked national team for three consecutive years, from 1997 to 1999, and have occupied that position again since December 2022. As of 4 June 2026, Morocco is ranked 7th in the world, the highest ranking by an African team since Nigeria in 1994. Morocco is set to become the second African nation, the second MENA nation, and the first North African nation to host the FIFA World Cup, after being chosen as a co-host for the 2030 edition alongside Portugal and Spain.
