Morocco’s Unblemished Run: Are They World Cup Favorites?
Morocco’s remarkable journey in the World Cup continues after they secured a 3-0 victory over Canada in the round of 16. Despite their uninspiring performance, the north African side have advanced to the quarter-finals.
Record-Breaking Unbeaten Streak
The Atlas Lions have not tasted defeat in their last 34 matches across all competitions, a remarkable achievement. This remarkable run includes the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal, which was awarded retroactively to Morocco.

World Cup Contenders?
Morocco’s unbeaten streak and impressive performances have raised questions about their status as serious contenders for the World Cup title. Their ability to win even when not at their best suggests a remarkable mental fortitude.
