Morocco return to the World Cup once again after appearing in the 2018 Russia event.
It is going to be a tough ask for the African nation given the opposition includes last WC’s runners-up, Croatia.
But Morocco with their unity, brotherhood and ability to showcase their potential; they remain a quality unit looking to ruffle some feathers.
