Morocco ready to dethrone Spain

Morocco threatens a Spanish record

Already assured of a spot at the 2026 World Cup, the Moroccan national team is on the verge of making even more history. This Tuesday night, against Congo, the Atlas Lions have the chance to become the first national team ever to string together 16 consecutive victories—an all-time record that would eclipse the mark set by 2010 world champions Spain, who notched 15 wins in 2009.

Last Thursday in Rabat, Morocco matched this historic feat thanks to a decisive goal from Jawad Yamiq against Bahrain (1-0), sparking collective euphoria. For Achraf Hakimi, Youssef En-Nesyri, and their teammates, this streak means far more than just a number: it embodies the momentum of a team brimming with confidence, united around the ambitious, visionary Walid Regragui.

Of course, not all the opponents faced have the pedigree of those Spain encountered. But put into context, this achievement is monumental for an African national team—a symbol of an unstoppable rise to the pinnacle of world football. A win against Congo would undoubtedly place Morocco in the history books and confirm their status as a global benchmark.
