The Morocco national football team is the national side representing the Kingdom of Morocco in international competitions, overseen by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.
Morocco is the first African and Arab team to reach the World Cup semi-finals, achieved at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
History of the Morocco national team
Founding and Early Years
The Morocco national team, nicknamed "the Atlas Lions," is governed by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), founded in 1955. Long regarded as a rising force in African football, it took decades to fully confirm its potential on the world stage.
Team Evolution
Morocco play many of their home matches at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, one of the historic venues of Moroccan football.
Great Managers
Walid Regragui wrote the greatest chapter in Moroccan football history by leading the Atlas Lions to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, a first for an African and Arab nation. Mohamed Ouahbi then took over and continued this momentum, guiding Morocco to the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
Iconic Players
Achraf Hakimi, the current captain, has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the world. Youssef En-Nesyri, the key scorer of the historic 2022 run, Hakim Ziyech, that generation's iconic playmaker, and Yassine Bounou, the decisive goalkeeper of the 2022 World Cup, carried Morocco to its greatest achievements.
Major Achievements
Morocco made history at the 2022 World Cup by becoming the first African and Arab nation to reach the semi-finals, finishing 4th after losing to France. They have also won the Africa Cup of Nations twice (1976, and 2025 on home soil, a title awarded by CAF's Appeal Board following a Senegal forfeit and contested by Senegal). At the 2026 World Cup, the Atlas Lions shone again, unbeaten in the group stage, before falling to France (0-2) in the quarter-final.
The Team Today
Buoyed by recent results and a golden generation still active, the Moroccan national team ranks among the top African nations in the FIFA World Ranking.
