The Morocco national football team is preparing to face Scotland in the FIFA World Cup 2026 after drawing with Brazil 1-1 in the first round. The Scottish national team fears a repeat of the disastrous scenario it experienced during the 1998 World Cup finals, where it lost to the Moroccan national team 3-0 in the last match of the group stage. The Moroccan national team dominated the Scottish team, scoring 3 goals through Salaheddine Bassir on two occasions and Abdeljilil Hadda, known as Camacho. This is the only meeting between the two teams in history. The Scottish national team dreams of making history by qualifying for the second round of the World Cup 2026 for the first time. Before the current edition, the Scottish team participated 8 times in the World Cup but failed to advance beyond the group stage. They fear a disastrous scenario of losing to Morocco and then Brazil, which would complicate their qualification calculations for the next round of the competition. The Scottish press has revealed significant concerns about the speed of Moroccan players and their ability to make a difference offensively. Coach Steve Clarke plans to adopt a defensive approach that will allow him to limit the main strength of the Moroccan national team, which is the speed of its players. In this regard, it is expected that the gaps on the right side of the Moroccan national team, which includes the duo Ashraf Hakimi and Ibrahima Diaz, will be closed. Ashraf Hakimi is one of the most prominent stars of the Moroccan national team, with great speed and intelligence on the field. He will play a crucial role in the upcoming match against Scotland. Ibrahima Diaz is also expected to play an important role in the match, with a great ability to score goals. The Scottish national team will have to find a solution to stop the Moroccan national team's attacks, which are characterized by speed and intelligence.
