Morocco’s head coach Mohamed Ouahbi has made it clear that his team is determined to keep their World Cup run going as they prepare to face co-hosts Canada in the Round of 16.

After a dramatic penalty shootout win over the Netherlands, Morocco enters the last 16 with plenty of confidence from one of their toughest matches so far.

Ouahbi admitted that Canada will be a different kind of challenge, especially since they have strong home support and are motivated by reaching the knockout rounds themselves.

Even with a tough match ahead, Ouahbi says his players have the right mindset and belief to beat any team.

“Canada is going to be difficult for us. We need to rest up, we need to come back fresh. We need to be telling ourselves, ‘No one will stop us,’” Ouahbi said.

The coach emphasized that believing in themselves will be key as Morocco tries to build on the momentum from their emotional win over the Netherlands.

His words show the growing confidence in the Moroccan squad, where unity, discipline, and resilience have defined their play during the tournament.

Ouahbi also said that at this point in the World Cup, any challenge can be overcome with the right attitude.

Reaching the Round of 16 is another big step for Morocco in what has been an impressive World Cup, as the Atlas Lions keep proving themselves as one of the tournament’s top teams.

Now, the team will focus on recovering and preparing their tactics for the match against Canada, with a spot in the quarter-finals at stake.

With momentum and confidence on their side, Morocco hopes to keep their World Cup journey going and aim for another historic moment.
