Morocco's Rise in FIFA Rankings
In a remarkable achievement, Morocco's national football team has ascended to the seventh position in the latest FIFA world rankings, as announced on Wednesday. This marks the highest ranking in the team's history, just eight days ahead of their participation in the 2026 World Cup. With a total of 1756.94 points, Morocco sits behind world leaders France, followed by Spain, Argentina, England, Portugal, and Brazil. This ranking not only highlights Morocco's position as a formidable team globally but also solidifies its standing as the leading African and Arab nation in the FIFA rankings.
Historical Context and Future Aspirations
The current ranking is a testament to the positive results that the Moroccan team has been delivering in recent competitions. Notably, Senegal follows closely in the rankings at 14th place, with Nigeria at 25th, Algeria at 28th, and Egypt at 29th. Tunisia and Qatar hold the 46th and 55th positions respectively. This achievement comes at a pivotal time as the Moroccan team embarks on their journey to the United States for the 2026 World Cup, aiming to build on their impressive fourth-place finish at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which remains the best performance by an Arab and African team in the tournament's history.
