Morocco’s head coach, Walid Regragui, expressed his satisfaction with the Atlas Lions’ continued winning streak following their 2-0 victory over Tanzania on Tuesday in Oujda, as part of the sixth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Regragui congratulated his players for their strong performance against a defensive Tanzanian side that put up a tough fight.

Regragui noted the tactical changes made at halftime, which allowed Morocco to capitalize on open spaces and set pieces.

“After a difficult first half, we adjusted some player positions and took advantage of set pieces, which helped us score two well-earned goals,” he explained.

According to Regragui, the team’s play style has evolved since the last Africa Cup of Nations, noting that the squad is now complete with a bench filled with top-quality players.

“We win matches, and that’s a fact that should not be overlooked. But we still have a lot of work ahead. We qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations with a perfect record, and we aim to do the same for the World Cup. We should be proud of what we’ve achieved,” Regragui added.
