Morocco

FIFA rank #14

They're a fast, defensively disciplined African side that shocked the world at the 2022 World Cup by becoming the first African nation to reach the semifinals, which turned them into genuine global fan favorites overnight. Heading into 2026 — which they're actually co-hosting alongside the US and Canada — there's enormous pressure and excitement to see if they can go even further on home soil. Watch for their crowd support to be absolutely electric, since playing in front of passionate Moroccan fans could be a massive advantage.
