Morocco are through to the round of 16 stage of the 2026 World Cup after dumping out the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday morning.
The Atlas Lions finished second in Group G. They kicked off their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Brazil. They then scored an early goal to beat Scotland 1-0 in Boston, before going on to win 4-2 against Haiti in a game where they twice trailed.
Those results set up a round of 32 match against the Netherlands in Monterrey, which they managed to progress from via a penalty shoot-out.
Morocco odds to win the World Cup
Morocco are now the shortest-priced African team at this summer’s World Cup. That’s hardly unsurprising when you consider the quality they possess in their squad through experienced star players like Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz. Add to that the fact that they reached the semi-final stage four years ago in Qatar and it’s clear that they are best placed to go deep in the tournament of all CAF teams this summer.
After beating the Netherlands, Morroco have seen their odds trimmed once again with some bookmakers.
Morocco World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds
Ismael Saibari was the goalscorer for the Atlas Lions in their 1-1 draw with Brazil and he’s followed up that goal with a further two in two group stage games that’s seen his odds slashed dramatically. He’s now available at 66/1 to top the scoring charts in the USA, Mexico and Canada. He has his work cut out to chase down Lionel Messi who is now odds-on favourite having scored six goals in the group stages.
