BOSTON: When Morocco left Qatar in 2022, they did so as heroes, having become the first African and Arab side to reach a World Cup semifinal.

Yet it is testament to Morocco’s journey that this felt less like glorious overachievement and more like a painful reminder of how much expectations have risen. Moroccan coach Mohamed Ouahbi had led his country’s under-20s to World Cup glory in Chile last year, overcoming France en route.
