The Morocco national football team

The Morocco national football team (Arabic: منتخب المغرب لكرة القدم‎, Berber: ⵜⴰⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵓⵜ ⴰⵏⴰⵎⵓⵔ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ), nicknamed The Atlas Lions, represents Morocco in men's international football competitions. It is controlled by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, also known as FRMF. The team's colours are red and green. The team is a member of both FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

They were considered the best African national football team after they ranked 10th in the FIFA World Rankings in April 1998, and are the first African national team in history to be ranked by FIFA in the top ten in the FIFA World Rankings and are also the only African national team to have been at the top of the FIFA World Rankings for three consecutive years, from 1997 to 1999. Internationally, they won the African Nations Cup in 1976 and have participated in the FIFA World Cup five times. Their best result came in 1986, when they were the first and the only African national team to finish top of a group at the World Cup— Morocco topped Group F in 1986 World Cup after holding both Poland and England to goalless draws, and beating Portugal 3–1. By doing so, they became the first African and Arabs national team, and only the second nation from outside Europe and the Americas (after North Korea in 1966), to reach the second round at the World Cup. England lost 1–0 to Portugal, followed by a 0–0 draw against Morocco in which England they lost, finishing ahead of England, Portugal and Poland—and to progress to the round of 16, where they narrowly lost to eventual runners-up West Germany 1–0.
