Morocco's Regragui Eyes World-Record Win Against Bahrain
Regragui's Morocco eye a historic victory in Rabat against Bahrain.

Record-Breaking Quest

Morocco, under coach Walid Regragui, is chasing a historic world-record run—one that has eluded every other nation since 2009, when Spain compiled a 15-match winning streak that was finally halted at the Confederations Cup in South Africa by the United States.

Morocco’s hopes are just one victory away from tying that record, and they want to do it against Bahrain in a friendly at Rabat's Stade Moulay Abdellah, a match that promises a vibrant atmosphere and a serious opportunity to notch another milestone.

The ambition doesn’t end there; the plan is to grab another win next Tuesday against Congo in Rabat as part of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

Regragui has consistently said numbers are tools to build a winning mindset for players, not trophies in themselves.

He also holds a string of unprecedented numbers as Morocco’s coach, starting from the World Cup in Qatar, when he steered the Atlas Lions to a historic semifinal—an achievement no Arab or African side had reached before.
