Piqué: Morocco is capable of surprising the world.

The former Spanish star Gerard Piqué believes that the Moroccan national team is capable of causing an upset during the 2026 World Cup, given the high levels that the "Atlas Lions" have been showcasing on the international stage in recent years.

The former Barcelona defender confirmed in media statements that the Moroccan national team is one of the top contenders to deliver an outstanding performance in the upcoming "World Cup," noting that their achievements in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar were not just a coincidence.

The Moroccan national team continues to earn the respect of followers and experts after the historic achievement of reaching the semi-finals of the "Qatar World Cup," becoming the first African and Arab team to reach this stage in the history of the tournament.

The national team relies on a group of outstanding players in the strongest European leagues, along with tactical discipline and defensive solidity that have become hallmarks of their performance in major competitions.

Piqué's statements reflect the status that the Moroccan national team has gained globally, just months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, in which the "Atlas Lions" aspire to confirm their presence among the elite national teams worldwide.
