Morocco First African Team to Reach Back-to-Back World Cup Quarters

Morocco has set a proud example for African football at the World Cup, achieving several milestones over the past six decades. The Atlas Lions were the first African country to qualify directly for the 1970 finals in Mexico and returned in 1986 to become the first team from the continent to reach the last 16.

Following their impressive semi-final run in Qatar four years ago, Morocco has now made history by becoming the first African team to reach the quarter-finals at successive World Cups. They will face France in their upcoming quarter-final match on Thursday, continuing their remarkable journey at the tournament. betsport24.es
