World Cup dreams over, but Egypt and Morocco have made Arab fans proud

LONDON: The Arab challenge at the 2026 World Cup ended this week but what a moment it was. At this tournament, Morocco and Egypt have done the region proud. Just 48 hours after the Pharaohs came within minutes of eliminating defending champions Argentina in a hugely exciting and controversial game, Morocco met France, the best team in the world. Les Bleus won 2-0 in the Boston sunshine on Thursday but the Atlas Lions have confirmed their status as a new powerhouse. Morocco reached the last four in 2022 to be defeated by the French and the same happened this time at the quarterfinal stage.
