The Moroccan national team was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup by France, which proved too strong with a 0-2 score. National coach Mohamed Uabi looked back on the match afterwards and paid particular attention to Kylian Mbappé's opening goal, which may have involved a handball.
"We have to admit that we faced a very strong opponent," Uabi said afterwards. 'We had a difficult time in the first half and Bounou managed to save a penalty. In the second half we played more compactly, with more calmness on the ball. We clearly started the match better. In the first half some of our players seemed overcome with tension, but they started the second part strongly.'
The goal, which came just after half-time, was not without controversy, according to Uabi: 'A number of our players stopped during the goal because they had seen a handball. I don't know whether it was actually hands and should have been punished, but hands were committed. Then Mbappé showed his class and scored.'
The disappointment in Morocco was great, but Uabi nevertheless looked ahead: 'It was tough at the end, but I think we have to keep believing and keep working hard.'
The match was officiated by Argentinian referee Facundo Tello, who was also involved in the decision surrounding the moment of the alleged handball. Despite the elimination, Morocco can look back on a strong tournament, where it once again managed to reach the last eight and received a lot of appreciation worldwide.
For France, the victory means that it advances to the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup and is once again in the battle for the world title. Mbappé underlined his international class and reconfirmed his status as a game changer on the highest stage.
It remains for Moroccotask to continue building on this strong campaign. The team can look ahead to future final tournaments with confidence, supported by a young generation and a coach who adheres to hope and development. The debate about the goal may continue for a while, but for now Morocco is focusing on the future.
What's happening now
With the focus on the future, Morocco will need to prepare for the next qualifiers and the development of their players. Uabi's encouragement to keep believing and working hard can have a positive impact on team dynamics and the season outlook. Performance at the 2026 World Cup could also influence the selection of players for future tournaments.
