Morocco is a "role model for Arabs" in the World Cup.

Less than a month before the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup, Arab teams are hopeful of playing pioneering roles in this global tournament and repeating the achievement of the Moroccan national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup by reaching the semifinals.

The first Arab team is the Moroccan national team, which qualified comfortably. The "Atlas Lions" will seek, in their historic seventh participation in the global event, to replicate the achievement in Qatar by reaching the semifinals and perhaps going even further. The Moroccan team, under the leadership of national coach Mohamed Wahbi, is in Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti.

The second Arab representative in the tournament is the Saudi national team; the "Green Falcons," led by Greek coach Georgios Donis, who was appointed to replace Hervé Renard, will aim to reach the knockout stages for the second time in the team's history. Saudi Arabia is in Group H with Uruguay, Spain, and Cape Verde.

The Algerian national team is also returning to the global event after missing the last two editions. The squad, coached by Vladimir Petkovic, will aim during their historic fifth participation to reach pioneering stages in the tournament. Algeria has been drawn into Group J alongside the defending champion Argentina, Austria, and another Arab team, Jordan.

The "Nashama" will seek, in their first participation in the World Cup, under the leadership of Moroccan coach Jamal Salami, to achieve positive results and reach the furthest point in the tournament.

The fifth Arab team in the global event is the Egyptian national team, marking its fourth participation in the World Cup. The "Pharaohs" will aim to achieve their first victory in the history of the World Cup finals and perhaps reach advanced stages in the tournament. Group G includes Egypt, Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran.

The Qatari team will also represent the Arabs in the World Cup. The "Maroon" will seek, in their second consecutive participation, to advance further in the tournament, having been placed in Group B alongside Switzerland, Canada, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the same context, the Tunisian team, located in Group F with Sweden, Japan, and the Netherlands, aims to surpass the group stage for the first time in its history and achieve positive results that will delight the Tunisian fans who love the "Eagles of Carthage."

For its part, the Iraqi national team, which has qualified for the World Cup for the second time in its history, will strive to honor the country and make a commendable participation; however, the task of the "Lions of Mesopotamia" will not be easy in Group I, which includes Norway, France, and Senegal.
