Morocco’s season reads like a team on a mission. The Atlas Lions are spotless in CAF Group E and coming off back‑to‑back trophies. Add consistent Sofascore Rating numbers and you get a side that looks ready for another deep run at the World Cup. Brazil on June 14 will tell us how high the ceiling is right now.

Qualifiers: eight from eight in CAF Group E

Morocco have started World Cup 2026 Qualifiers with eight straight wins. The results column is a tidy list of green: 2-0 in Tanzania, 2-1 against Zambia, a 6-0 away win, a 2-1 success, then 2-0, 5-0, 2-0 and 1-0 to round it out. Across those matches they scored 22 goals and conceded only 2. That is six clean sheets in eight and a goal difference of +20. It is not flashy for the sake of it, just efficient and repeatable.

The pattern is clear. Morocco control games, keep mistakes to a minimum and find goals from multiple sources. In a long qualifying campaign, that matters more than one-off fireworks. With this platform, Group E looks firmly in their hands. Sofascore users tracking live momentum will notice how often Morocco tilt the field after taking the lead.

Tournament resume: from Qatar 2022 to new silverware

The reference point is still World Cup 2022, where Morocco finished 4th. The run went through a 0-0 with Croatia, wins over Belgium 2-0 and Canada 2-1, then a famous shootout over Spain after a 0-0 and a 1-0 against Portugal. Defeats to France 2-0 and Croatia 2-1 settled the final ranking, but the statement was made. Their average Sofascore Rating at that tournament was 6.80.

Individual numbers backed it up. Achraf Hakimi led Morocco’s World Cup 2022 squad by Sofascore Rating at 7.17, with Azzedine Ounahi on 7.11 and Hakim Ziyech on 7.00. Jawad El Yamiq and Nayef Aguerd followed at 6.98. Youssef En‑Nesyri scored twice, while Ziyech, Achraf Dari, Romain Saïss and Zakaria Aboukhlal each added one. Since then, the squad have only raised the bar with two major titles: winners of the Arab Cup 2025 and AFCON 2026, posting average tournament Sofascore Ratings of 6.98 and 6.96 respectively.

Red‑hot form and a new voice on the touchline

Form-wise, Morocco are flying. They are unbeaten in 29 matches and have lost only twice in their last 45. That level of consistency is hard to fake and usually points to elite defensive structure plus timely finishing. It also mirrors their tournament rhythm, where knockout football has become second nature. Winning the Arab Cup and the African Cup of Nations in the last seven months strengthens that view.

There is change too. Mohamed Ouahbi took over in March, replacing Walid Regragui, the coach who presided over the 2022 breakthrough. A fresh voice has not disrupted results, which is often a good sign for continuity. Next up is Brazil on June 14, a proper stress test for a team that has been in control for most of this cycle. Expect a tight, tactical game that will say a lot about Morocco’s World Cup readiness on neutral ground.

Where this leaves Morocco

Put it together and the seasonal picture is simple: clean qualifying run, two recent trophies and high, stable Sofascore Rating outputs. The squad know how to manage big moments, and the numbers suggest they arrive at them often. On Sofascore, you can track live swings, player momentum and post-match Ratings to see how this form holds up against Brazil and into the next qualifiers. If the current trend continues, Morocco will head to 2026 as more than a dark horse.
