Morocco international Brahim Diaz has expressed confidence in the Atlas Lions' ability to perform well at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. In an interview with DAZN, the Real Madrid midfielder highlighted the team's technical qualities and ambition.
"We have a very strong squad, with players who are at top clubs. I think we can go very far in this World Cup," Diaz said, according to the interview published on May 27, 2026. The 26-year-old, who has 25 caps for Morocco, emphasized the team's unity and determination.
Morocco, which made history by reaching the semifinals in 2022, is drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and New Zealand. The team will begin its campaign on June 14 against Portugal.
Diaz, who scored 8 goals in La Liga this season, is expected to play a key role in Morocco's attack. Coach Walid Regragui has named a 26-man squad for the tournament, with Diaz as one of the key players.
