It has been officially confirmed that the Moroccan national team will be placed in Pot 2 for the group stage draw of the FIFA World Cup 2026, set to be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This advantageous seeding is a direct result of the Atlas Lions’ exceptional run of results in recent qualifiers and international fixtures, which significantly boosted their standing in the latest FIFA rankings. Placement in Pot 2 ensures Morocco avoids some of the world’s highest-ranked nations in the initial group stage.

The Atlas Lions are preparing to participate in the first-ever expanded edition of the World Cup, which will feature 48 teams. The team is aiming to build on their historic performance in 2022 and continue their rise on the global stage.
