Morocco has climbed to 6th place in the first FIFA Futsal Men's World Ranking, breaking into the top ten. This impressive rise follows a string of recent victories, according to FIFA's May 6th announcement. Morocco secured its high ranking thanks to a dominant performance in 2023. They «destroyed Kuwait 7-1 in the Arab Futsal Cup final», dominated Argentina with a «7-0 beatdown in a friendly», and «escaped the entire 2023 unbeaten». Their dominance continued in 2024, as they «conquered the Futsal AFCON 2024 in scintillating style». FIFA highlights the contributions of key players like Bilal Bakkali, Soufian Charraoui, and Soufiane El-Mesrar, suggesting they «are now threatening to make Morocco the first nation outside Europe or South America to lift the sport's most prestigious trophy». This impressive rise comes after Morocco's first-ever Confederations Cup victory in September 2022. They followed this up by claiming their third Arab Futsal Cup title in 2023. In 2024, Morocco secured their third continental title with a 5-1 victory over Angola in the 2024 Final, solidifying their position as the nation with the most titles alongside Egypt.
