The North-East African nation pulled out prior to the first round, leaving Group E with five teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Historic Form Under Regragui<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walid Regragui&#8217;s men have now gone 17 matches unbeaten \u2014 winning 16 and drawing just one \u2014 as they continue to build momentum ahead of a highly anticipated Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on home soil in January 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Morocco lifted the continental title was in 1976, and expectations are soaring that the current squad \u2014 boasting a blend of European-based stars and local talent \u2014 could finally end the 50-year wait.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis group is hungry,\u201d said Regragui after the win in Manama. \u201cThey\u2019re not thinking about records, they\u2019re thinking about representing Morocco with pride \u2014 but of course, making history is always special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>One Win From the Record<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Should Morocco secure victory in their next international fixture, they will become the first national team in history to record 16 consecutive wins \u2014 surpassing the long-standing record held by Spain, who dominated world football in the late 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>That Spanish side, featuring legends like Xavi, Iker Casillas and David Villa, went on to win both Euro 2008 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Morocco\u2019s rise under Regragui has been impressive, with the team also enjoying a strong showing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>With the AFCON fast approaching, Moroccan fans will be hoping this record-breaking form translates into silverware \u2014 and that the long wait for continental glory finally comes to an end.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
