Morocco’s Remarkable Winning Run
Morocco, semi-finalists in the 2022 World Cup, secured their place in the upcoming North American tournament last month, completing their World Cup qualifying matches with a perfect record of eight victories from eight games. Their most recent 1:0 home win against Congo capped their dominant campaign.
Expanding beyond the qualifiers, the Atlas Lions’ successes over the last eighteen months include triumphs in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and friendly encounters. Altogether, Morocco have become the first international team in football history to string together 16 consecutive wins.

Chronology and Details of the Streak
Their extraordinary series began on 7 June 2024, when they overcame Zambia 2:1 in their second World Cup qualifier. Morocco managed to extend this momentum by notching up fifteen further victories, culminating in a goal tally of 50 for and only 4 conceded.
It is important to clarify that the matches played by Morocco during the African Nations Championship last August are excluded from this total. Although they claimed the tournament title, there were two matches not won in regular time. These fixtures are not considered in the official count because only players from each nation’s domestic leagues were eligible, and regular head coach Walid Regragui did not lead the side.
Record Comparison: Spain and Germany
Prior to Morocco’s achievement, the record for most consecutive international wins stood with Spain, who enjoyed fifteen successive victories during the advent of their “golden era” between June 2008 and June 2009. That sequence began with a commanding 3:0 win over Russia in the UEFA Euro 2008 semi-finals and came to an end following a 2:0 defeat to the United States in the 2009 Confederations Cup.
Additionally, Morocco now have the opportunity to eclipse Germany’s record of fifteen consecutive official-match wins, set between July 2010 and June 2012, as three of Morocco’s current wins have been secured in friendlies.
