The Morocco national football team is the national team of Morocco. It is governed by the Fédération Royale Marocaine de football (FRMF), the governing body for football in Morocco. Their nickname is the "Atlas Lions" due to the Barbary lion being native to North Africa and the Atlas Mountains being in Morocco.

Winners of the African Nations Cup in 1976, they were the first African team to win a group at the World Cup, which they did in 1986, finishing ahead of Portugal, Poland, and England. They were also the first African team to make it to the second round, barely losing to eventual runners-up West Germany 1–0 in 1986. They also came within two minutes of moving out of the group stage of the 1998 FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup, Kjetil Rekdal's late winning goal for Norway against Brazil eliminating them.
