The world’s football governing body FIFA highlighted Brahim Diaz’s rising influence on the Moroccan national team, positioning him as a key figure in its promising future.
In a recent report, FIFA praised Diaz’s contributions since his debut in early 2024, including a decisive goal against Lesotho during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
This optimism follows a tumultuous year for Morocco, starting with an early exit from the 2024 AFCON, despite a strong group-stage performance.
Morocco rebounded strongly in the AFCON qualifiers, showing resilience and maintaining its standing among Africa’s top teams.
Although the Atlas Lions dropped slightly in FIFA rankings, from 13th to 14th, their ambition remains high, FIFA noted.
With the 2026 World Cup qualification and Morocco’s co-hosting of the 2030 tournament on the horizon, FIFA sees the team, led by Diaz and other global talents, as a force to watch.
