Morocco makes history a little more

Qualified for the 2026 World Cup and host of the African Cup of Nations which begins next month, Morocco played against Mozambique this Friday in a preparation match. Result: a 1-0 success far from being anecdotal.

Thanks to the single goal scored at the start of the match by former Marseillais Azzedine Ounahi in Tangier, the Atlas Lions were able to sign a 17e consecutive victory. A crazy dynamic that has been running since March 26, 2024 and a goalless draw against Mauritania.

Spain dethroned but…

Last month, the Moroccans had already broken the record previously held by Spain in 2008-2009, with a 16e
triumph then obtained at the expense of the Congo. We’ll see if they go even further next Tuesday against Uganda in a friendly.

Note that the international record for invincibility remains held at this time by Italy, with 31 matches lined up without a setback between 2018 and 2021. A benchmark mark today under threat from Spain, victorious today in Georgia (0-4) and now credited with 30 outings in a row without the slightest defeat.
