FIFA WC: 'The Future Looks Bright For Morocco,' Says Mohamed Ouahbi After Quarter-final Exit
FIFA World Cup: Morocco head coach Mohamed Ouahbi remained optimistic about his team's future despite their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign ending with a 2-0 defeat to France in the quarter-finals, insisting the Atlas Lions have laid the foundation for sustained success on the global stage.
France booked their place in the semi-finals after goals in the second half ended Morocco's hopes at Boston Stadium, with Kylian Mbappe playing a key role as Les Bleus once again proved too strong for the African side after also knocking them out in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
The defeat brought Morocco's historic campaign to an end, although they became the first African nation to reach the quarter-finals in consecutive FIFA World Cups.
