FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier: Morocco to play Zambia , Senegal faces challenge from Congo

The Hindu  

History-making 2022 World Cup semifinalist Morocco must win a group including Zambia to ensure qualification for the next edition in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Morocco became the first African or Arab country to reach the World Cup semifinals last December in Qatar before losing to France, and finished fourth. Senegal is in Group B and the biggest danger to it is likely to come from the rapidly improving Democratic Republic of Congo, which played in the 1974 World Cup when known as Zaire.
