Morocco remains the only African nation to maintain a flawless record in the 2026 World Cup qualifications, having secured seven consecutive victories in Group E. This achievement extends their winning streak to 15 matches, equaling the world record established by Spain between June 2008 and June 2009. The Atlas Lions can claim the record outright when they face Congo on Tuesday, October 14, in the final qualifying round. Their latest victory came against Bahrain last week, with Jawad Yamiq scoring in stoppage time to preserve the streak with a 1-0 win. Coach Walid Regragui acknowledged the significance of the run. «It means the group is living well together, wants to achieve things collectively, and has hunger», he said in a press conference. The coach emphasized that beyond results, maintaining the proper mentality and respect for the national jersey remains paramount. Congo, meanwhile, has struggled with six losses and one draw in seven matches. The fixture presents Morocco with an opportunity to set a new benchmark ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in two months. Article modified on : 14/10/2025 19h53
