Morocco Maintains Perfect Record with 2-0 Victory Over Zambia in World Cup Qualifiers

Dominant Display from Atlas Lions

Morocco demonstrated their superiority with a convincing 2-0 victory against Zambia on Monday, September 8, 2025, at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. The result further solidifies their remarkable qualifying campaign.

Morocco’s Impressive Campaign

Following their brilliant performance at the previous World Cup where they reached the semifinals, Morocco has maintained their exceptional form in the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup. Their perfect record of 18 points from six games, with an impressive goal difference of 19-2, puts them eight points ahead of their nearest challenger, Tanzania.

Zambia’s Struggle Continues

The Copper Bullets find themselves in a challenging position, with automatic qualification now out of reach. While they have shown some attacking prowess with nine goals in the qualifiers, their defensive struggles are evident. Their recent form has been particularly concerning, having failed to win in their last seven games across all competitions, while conceding twelve goals and drawing blanks in four matches.

Looking Ahead

With their place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico already secured, Morocco can now shift their focus towards preparing for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which they will host. For Zambia, the road ahead remains challenging, with crucial matches against Tanzania and Niger still to come.
