Rabat: Atlas Lions Morocco surpassed Germany and Spain with 16 consecutive victories in international football after beating Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
Morocco has already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup topping the Group E Standings with 24 points and zero loss, and Achraf Hakimi's men were at ease when they hit the ground Tuesday to play against Congo at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
The Atlas Lions, however, had the world record in their mind and hence defeated Les Léopards to set a new record in International Football by winning 16 matches in a row.
The last record of 15 consecutive victories was earlier held by Germany (2010-2011) and Spain (2008-09). Morocco matched the two playing against Bahrain last Thursday thanks to a decisive goal from Jawad Yamiq over the dead end of the match.
On Tuesday, striker Youssef En-Nesyri sent the ball past the goalkeeper in 63rd minute, sealing the historic victory against Congo.
