The Atlas Lions have qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the second time. They couldn’t make it out of the Group Stage four years ago following their defeats to Iran and Portugal and a draw against Spain.

5 Best Morocco Players in World Cup 2022
Here we look into the top 5 Moroccan players in the Morocco Potential Squad who could make a huge impact in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
#1 Achraf HakimiÂ
At the top of our list is the obvious choice, the PSG star wing-back Achraf Hakimi. The 23-year-old is one of the world’s best in his position. Achraf Hakimi is an essential player for the French giants and is expected to play a crucial role for Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Hakimi is magnificent going forward down the right wing. So far, he has scored 2 goals and an assist in the Ligue 1 this season.
#2 Hakim Ziyech Â
The Chelsea veteran Hakim Ziyech could return with a bang for Morocco in the Qatar World Cup. Despite struggling for minutes in his club, the 29-year-old winger could prove to be a key man in Morocco’s attack.
#3 Sofiane Boufal   Â
Sofiane Boufal has been in good touch for the Ligue 1 side Anger. The 29-year-old striker will look to carry the momentum in the World Cup and find the back of the net for his nation.
Boufal has scored 3 goals and assisted another 3 in 10 games in the Ligue 1 this season.
#4 Noussair MazraouiÂ
With Hakimi occupying the right-back slot, Mazraoui could do the same on the left side. The 24-year-old Bayern Munich wing-back is good going forward and can provide dangerous crosses into the box.
#5 Yassine Bounou
Moroccan fans can rely on the safe hands of Yassine Bounou. The Sevilla shot-stopper will be the first-choice goalkeeper for Walid Regragui. A lot of Moroccan success in the World Cup will depend on the 31-year-old.
