“Playing against Brazil is a dream for everyone. It is an honour for us; Brazil is the country of football, and for Moroccans, it is an example,” he said.
“We have great respect for the Selecao, but let’s be honest, it will be a great game. May the better team win.”
Morocco, World Cup semi-finalists in Qatar 2022, have been widely tipped as Africa’s leading challengers in the expanded 2026 edition.
