Moroccan national team head coach, Walid Regragui, confirmed that the national team is close to securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. He noted that celebrations that used to occur following qualification have become less frequent, as the focus has shifted more towards future preparations.
In his recent statements, Regragui emphasized that the Moroccan team is focused on preparing the best possible squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, stressing that giving opportunities to young players should be considered in the context of achieving the team’s collective goals, which remain the most important.
Regarding the most recent match, Regragui explained that the Moroccan team controlled the flow of the game, showing an improved performance compared to the previous encounter with Niger. He considered the first goal of the match to be crucial in easing their task, despite a slight drop in intensity during the final minutes. He highlighted the need to improve offensive play.
Regragui pointed out that the opponent exerted a lot of effort in the first half, while the Moroccan players deliberately let the opponents expend more energy to exploit that advantage in the second half. He praised the Moroccan team for achieving a perfect record, securing 15 points from 15, emphasizing that these results are excellent.
In conclusion, Regragui stressed that work is ongoing to build a competitive team despite the positive results. He affirmed that the experience gained from European matches will contribute to the development of the team, and preparation for the 2026 World Cup will continue without interruption.
