The 18 consecutive victories for the team led by Walid Regragui were primarily against African teams: Uganda, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo (two matches), Zambia (two matches), Niger (two), Tanzania, Lesotho (two), Gabon (two), and Central African Republic (two). This streak also included one friendly win against Asian team Bahrain. Their last non-winning match was a 0-0 draw against Mauritania on 26/3.

These statistics apply to official tournaments allowing internationally based players, excluding the African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is considered unofficial as it restricts participation to players from domestic leagues.

Brahim Diaz played a crucial role in this 18-match winning streak, scoring eight goals. The Real Madrid player chose to represent Morocco over Spain, making his debut in a 1-0 victory against Angola on 22/3. With him in the squad, the national team has won 14 matches and drawn one out of 15 appearances.

Morocco's 18 consecutive wins, encompassing friendlies, Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, and World Cup qualifiers, included a remarkable run of nine clean sheets. During these 18 matches, Diaz and his teammates scored 54 goals while conceding only four. Morocco has remained unbeaten for 21 consecutive matches since their loss to South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) last January.

These statistics underscore the progress of Moroccan football. The national team has qualified for the World Cup for the fourth consecutive time and will also co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.

Morocco previously won the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in 2018 and 2020. They finished fourth at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and secured titles in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations and U17 Africa Cup of Nations in 2023. Additionally, Moroccan football achieved a fourth-place finish at the U17 World Cup 2023, earned a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, and won the U17 Africa Cup of Nations in 2025.

This year, Morocco won the U20 World Cup a few weeks ago, defeating Argentina in the final. They also reached the quarter-finals of the U17 World Cup, currently underway in Qatar, where they will face Brazil at 22:45 today, 21/11 (Hanoi time).

Spain currently holds the world's longest unbeaten streak, with 25 wins and six draws in their last 31 matches. They are the fourth national team globally to achieve 30 or more unbeaten matches, following Morocco (38 matches), Senegal (36 matches), and Italy (31 matches).
