The Moroccan national team has achieved a remarkable historic milestone by reaching sixth place worldwide in the team rankings, for the first time in its history.
This astounding rise came as a direct result of the Portuguese team’s stumble, which ended in a 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the opening match of Group 11 at the 2026 World Cup finals.
The ranking of Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammates was negatively affected by this draw, giving the Atlas Lions a golden opportunity to climb up and firmly establish themselves among the top teams.
This achievement reflects the significant development witnessed in Moroccan football performance on the international stage and opens new horizons for the future.
The current top ten team rankings worldwide include Argentina at the top, followed by France, then Spain, England, Brazil, and Morocco in sixth place globally, surpassing Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, confirming the strength and competitiveness of the Atlas Lions.
The Moroccan national team began its journey in the 2026 World Cup with a positive 1-1 draw against Brazil, delivering an impressive performance that amazed everyone.
The Atlas Lions prepare to continue their tournament journey with great ambitions, as they face a crucial match next Friday against Scotland at Gillette Stadium in Boston, a challenge where the team under coach Mohammed Wahbi seeks to strengthen their position and continue their successful streak in this global event.
