Morocco: First African Team in Back-to-Back World Cup Quarters

Morocco continues to break barriers for African football, becoming the first team from the continent to reach the quarter-finals at successive World Cup tournaments. The Atlas Lions have a proud history at the World Cup, dating back to 1970 when they became the first African nation to qualify directly.

Despite facing France in their upcoming match, Morocco has already etched their name in history with this achievement. Previous milestones include being the first African team to reach the last 16 in 1986 and their remarkable semi-final run in 2022. afrikasportnews.co.za
