Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi believes his team is primed to make a deep run at the FIFA World Cup, declaring that the Atlas Lions could be “unstoppable” if they play to their potential, following their thrilling 3-2 victory on penalties against the Netherlands here on Monday.

It was another stylish display by the African champions, who dominated for long periods in a match that finished 1-1 after extra-time. Ouahbi said that Moroccan football is now reaping the benefits of the 2022 team’s  exploits in becoming the first African team to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
