Morocco’s maintenance in 14th place in the world and its domination on the continent are a reflection of its performances during the last World Cup in Qatar and a clear strategic vision of its government.
The latest FIFA rankings published this Thursday, confirmed Morocco’s position as the undisputed leader of African football while maintaining its 14th place in the world. Despite some recent setbacks, the Atlas Lions continue to shine on the international scene, accumulating 1676.14 points. This remarkable performance allows them to maintain a comfortable lead over Senegal, ranked 21st in the world with 1620.87 points.
Morocco, under the leadership of its coach, has managed to rise to the top of African football. The Atlas Lions are dominating the continent, leaving behind prestigious teams such as Egypt, ranked 31st in the
world with 1515.64 points, Côte d’Ivoire in 33rd place, and Tunisia in 36th. This supremacy is the result of hard work and a well-thought-out strategy, aimed at keeping Morocco at the top of African football.
As the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AfCON) approaches, Morocco has clear ambitions. As hosts of the tournament, the country automatically qualified and was placed in Pool B, alongside Gabon, Lesotho and the Central African Republic. The start of the campaign has been promising, with a resounding 4-1 victory against Gabon and a narrower 1-0 victory against Lesotho. These results are a testament to the determination of the Atlas Lions to shine at the next AFCON.
On the global stage, Argentina continues to dominate the FIFA rankings, bolstered by their victory at the 2022 World Cup. France and Spain follow closely behind, occupying second and third place respectively. The global top 10 is completed by footballing giants such as England, Brazil, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Colombia
and Italy.
This fierce competition at the top of the world rankings underlines the importance of consistent performance and long-term strategy. Morocco’s success is not based solely on individual performances, but on a comprehensive strategy involving the training of young talent, the improvement of infrastructure and rigorous
management.
Football academies across the country play a crucial role in the development of future talent, ensuring a quality succession for years to come.
