The road to the FIFA World Cup is never easy. In the African Football Confederation, the margin for error is close to non-existent based on its format. But that wasn’t a problem for Morocco in their smooth journey to Qatar 2022.
In the first round they shared the group with Guinea Bissau, Guinea and Sudan. Although only the leader advanced, they walked through it with six victories in a row. The next step was a head-to-head to determine who was going to be in the FIFA World Cup. The rival was the Democratic Republic of Congo, though they didn’t stand a chance.
That clash had them with a 5-2 overall result that gave them their ticket Qatar. In there, they will have a tough challenge from the beginning to the end. Their opponent on Matchday 1 will be Croatia, before going up against Belgium and closing out vs Canada.
