Oliseh: Morocco Must Evolve Tactics to Repeat 2022 World Cup Run

1 / 3

Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh warns that Morocco cannot rely on the same counter-attacking approach that carried them to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals. He believes opponents have studied their style and will adapt. Morocco opened their 2026 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Brazil, with Ismael Saibari’s neat chip giving them the lead before Vinicius Junior’s individual brilliance levelled. Oliseh says this result underscores the need for tactical innovation. Since Qatar, Morocco have changed coach, replacing Walid Regragui with Mohamed Ouahbi in March. Oliseh also cited the growing strength of other African sides, especially Senegal, as a factor Morocco must prepare for. The Atlas Lions face Scotland next, then Haiti as they aim to secure a knockout-round spot. Adaptation and fresh strategies will be vital if they hope to match their historic 2022 achievement.
