National football coach Vahid Halilhodzic said on April 1 that Morocco’s Group of opponents is “challenging,” following FIFA’s final draw.

Morocco was drawn together with Croatia, Belgium, and Canada in Group F.

“The national team is part of a tough group with Croatia, the runner-up for the last edition of the world Cup, the third-placed Belgium team, and Canada, the best North American team,” Halilhodzic specified.

“In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, my Algerian team was able to qualify for the second round, and we could have achieved the best against Germany. I will try to do the same with Morocco,” he said.

“Anything is possible, we just have to believe in it,” he continued.

Halilhodzic said “we have to prepare well for the upcoming games against great teams,” he stated, adding that, “the national team can make the difference.”

“We will try to do our best for this World Cup, we have nothing to lose,” he concluded.

Morocco is set to face off Croatia first on November 23, taking place in Qatar.
