Morocco poised to break world record with national team’s winning streak

Morocco’s national football team stands on the verge of achieving a world record as they are set to face Congo in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

French sports daily “L’Équipe” has reported that a victory tonight would give Morocco 16 consecutive wins, surpassing Spain’s longstanding record. “It’s not easy to reach such an accomplishment, it means this group is performing well, working together, and hungry for victory,” said coach Walid Regragui. The team’s desire to break the record became evident with Jawad Yamiq’s last-minute goal against Bahrain, celebrated passionately by players and fans.

Regragui remains focused, reminding his squad at halftime against Bahrain that “history awaits them,” while emphasizing the real assessment will come during the next African Cup of Nations. Morocco leads their group with 21 points from seven straight wins and secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup after their emphatic 5-0 victory over Niger, who hold second place in the group.

Fans and critics alike are watching as Morocco attempts to make football history, inspired by the energy, unity, and resilience of their team each time they step on the pitch
