World Cup 2026: Morocco Keeper Munir El Kajoui targets improvement in Haiti clash

Morocco goalkeeper Munir El Kajoui has described the Atlas Lions’ final Group C encounter against Haiti at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a key opportunity to further strengthen the team’s cohesion and overall performance.

Speaking during a pre-match press conference in Atlanta on Tuesday, El Kajoui stressed the importance of the fixture, which concludes Morocco’s group-stage campaign, noting that it offers a chance to refine tactical understanding and build on their earlier performances in the tournament.

He explained that the match represents an important step in the team’s development process, especially after facing strong opposition earlier in the group stage.

“This match will help us improve the cohesion between the different lines, and above all, present a different scenario than the matches against Brazil and Scotland,” he said.

The experienced goalkeeper also insisted that the squad remains focused, united, and confident heading into the decisive fixture, highlighting the strong mentality within the camp.

“The national team is in very good shape and united. We know where we are and what we want. The team has been motivated from the start and is highly disciplined and focused in this edition of the World Cup,” he added.

El Kajoui further expressed the team’s determination to finish the group stage on a strong note and continue building momentum as the tournament progresses, while also underlining the collective ambition to make the nation proud.

“We are ready to give our best and make Moroccans proud,” he said.

Meanwhile, teammate Munir El Mohamadi also voiced his readiness to contribute in any capacity, both on and off the pitch, reinforcing the squad’s unity and shared objectives as they aim to advance as far as possible in the competition.

The clash against Haiti is expected to determine the top spot in Group C, with Morocco looking to cap off their group-stage campaign in style. Strong support is anticipated from the Moroccan community in the United States, particularly in Atlanta, where a large turnout is expected at the stadium to rally behind the Atlas Lions in a crucial night of World Cup action.
