Morocco Makes World Cup History

19 consecutive victories stands as the longest winning streak in international soccer history, a world record that belongs to a single dominant force. That powerhouse is the Morocco national football team, which has just made history as the first African squad to reach back-to-back World Cup quarterfinals.

The historic milestone was secured on Saturday with a commanding 3-0 victory over Canada, continuing a spectacular run for the program. This success builds on their breakthrough performance in 2022, when they became the first African nation to ever reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Since then, they have captured the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, cementing their status as global heavyweights. This current run is led by manager Mohamed Wabi, who took over the senior team in March 2026 after Walid Regragui stepped down.

On the pitch, key contributions have come from midfielder Ismaël Saïbari, who leads the team with 3 goals, and goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who has recorded 7 saves. Now, Morocco stands just 1 victory away from matching their historic 2022 semifinal run, as they prepare for the quarterfinals.
