This honor comes at a time when the Moroccan national team is preparing for a decisive confrontation against Canada, on Saturday evening, at Houston Stadium, in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup finals.
The “Atlas Lions” had reached this round after eliminating the Netherlands national team on penalties (3-2), after the match’s regular time ended in a positive draw (1-1), in a match that witnessed an exciting Moroccan comeback in the final minutes.
The Moroccan national team is counting on the experience of its captain, Achraf Hakimi, one of the most prominent pillars of the team, to continue the journey in the tournament and repeat the historic achievement it achieved in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, when it reached the semi-finals for the first time in the history of the Arab and African teams.
On the other hand, the Canadian team seeks to continue its adventure in the tournament and achieve a new surprise against the Moroccan team, in a confrontation that is expected to witness a great rivalry between the two sides.
