He added that more than two-thirds of the work has been completed in all Moroccan stadiums without exception, and that light maintenance and laying of grass in some of them remains.

Morocco national team The Moroccan national team finished fourth in the last World Cup in Qatar in 2022, noting that it was natural for the African Nations Championship at the beginning of 2024 to be a confirmation of the Moroccan awakening, but it was completely disappointing, contrary to expectations.

The Moroccan national team's journey stopped at the round of 16 after losing to South Africa 2/0, and the team bid farewell early from the continental competition, which it had won only once in 1976.

This disappointing ending surprised everyone, especially after the good start of the Moroccan national team, which advanced as the leader of its group in the first round after defeating Tanzania and Zambia and drawing with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

A series of successes of Morocco It is worth noting that in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the Moroccan national team imposed itself as one of the strongest teams ever, after a series of successes, starting with a 4-1 victory over Gabon in the first round of the qualifiers, followed by a victory over Lesotho with a goal scored by Diaz in the last minutes.

The Moroccan team defeated the Central African Republic (5-0) in the third round, while in the fourth round, the victory was repeated over the same competitor (4-0), thus completing the first 4 rounds of the qualifiers.

Moroccan national team The Moroccan national team gave a distinguished performance, as the Atlas Lions opened their qualifying campaign with two goals to none against Tanzania, then against Zambia, achieving a 2-1 victory, and then after that, a 6-0 victory over Congo in a match in which Ayoub El Kaabi excelled, scoring 3 goals at once.

The Moroccan national team was ranked 13th in the world at the end of 2023, with 166.69 points, and at the end of this year it dropped to 14th in the world with 1688.18 points, despite the violent shocks it suffered in the African Nations Cup at the beginning of the year.
