Morocco became the very first African team to book its place at the 2026 World Cup, sealing qualification during the seventh round of qualifiers against Niger. The Atlas Lions swept their opponents aside with a commanding 5-0 victory.

This qualification has sent waves of joy throughout the country. And Achraf Hakimi, captain of the Atlas Lions, is no exception. "World Cup 26, here we go! Thank you Rabat! You are amazing." he exclaimed on September 6, last Saturday.
