The Moroccan national football team, known as the Atlas Lions, is preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with ambitions to build on their historic run to the semi-finals in the 2022 tournament in Qatar. The team is currently managed by head coach Walid Regragui, who led them during their successful 2022 campaign.

Morocco has qualified for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The team's recent performances, including a fourth-place finish at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, have solidified their status as a formidable African side.

Key players from the 2022 squad, such as Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat, remain central to the team's core as they integrate new talent. The team's official preparation matches and group stage opponents for the 2026 tournament have not been finalized as of March 2026.
