Morocco entered the 2022 FIFA World Cup as an underdog. But under Regragui’s leadership, the Atlas Lions produced one of the greatest stories in World Cup history.

Morocco topped their group ahead of Croatia and Belgium, showing discipline, organization, and remarkable team spirit.

Then came the historic knockout stage.

Morocco eliminated Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout in the Round of 16. In the quarter-finals, they defeated Portugal 1-0, becoming the first African and Arab nation ever to reach a World Cup semi-final.

It was a moment that united millions of fans across Morocco, Africa, and the Arab world.

Regragui’s success was not only about tactics. His connection with the players, his belief in the team, and the collective spirit of the squad played a crucial role in Morocco’s unforgettable journey.

The 2022 World Cup will always be remembered as a historic chapter in Moroccan football.
