Morocco is just a step away from making history; a victory over Niger could grant the Atlas Lions an early spot in the World Cup.
The national team finds itself with a golden opportunity to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup when it faces Niger tomorrow in a match that could become historic in African football.
A win for the Atlas Lions in this encounter would mean their official qualification for the World Cup before the end of the qualifiers, making Morocco the first African team to secure a place in the global football event.
The impressive journey that Achraf Hakimi and his teammates have undertaken during the qualifiers has brought the national team close to achieving another landmark, adding to the series of successes they have achieved in recent years, notably reaching the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar—a historic first for Arab and African football.
Moroccan fans are eagerly awaiting the match, hoping that the Atlas Lions continue to make history and that Tokyo 2026 becomes a new chapter in the journey of a team that has established its place among the world’s elite.
