Morocco goalkeeper Munir El Kajoui believes the Atlas Lions‘ final Group C match against Haiti at the 2026 FIFA World Cup offers an important opportunity to further improve the team’s cohesion and overall performance.
Speaking during a press conference in Atlanta ahead of Wednesday’s encounter, El Kajoui emphasised the significance of the fixture as Morocco look to conclude the group stage on a positive note and continue building momentum for the knockout rounds.
The experienced shot-stopper explained that the match presents a valuable chance for the squad to refine its tactical understanding and strengthen relationships across the pitch after facing challenging opposition earlier in the tournament.
“This match will help us improve the cohesion between the different lines, and above all, present a different scenario than the matches against Brazil and Scotland,” El Kajoui said.
Morocco have impressed throughout the group stage with disciplined performances and a strong collective approach, and the goalkeeper believes the squad remains united and fully focused on its objectives.
“The national team is in very good shape and united. We know where we are and what we want. The team has been motivated from the start and is highly disciplined and focused in this edition of the World Cup,” he added.
El Kajoui also highlighted the determination within the camp to continue progressing and represent Morocco with pride on the global stage.
“We are ready to give our best and make Moroccans proud,” he stated.
The goalkeeper’s comments reflect the confidence that has developed within the squad following a series of encouraging performances, as Morocco continue to build on the foundations established during their historic World Cup campaigns in recent years.
Meanwhile, fellow goalkeeper Munir El Mohamadi reinforced the message of unity within the camp, insisting that every player remains committed to contributing to the team’s success, whether on the pitch or in a supporting role.
The clash against Haiti is expected to play a major role in determining the final standings in Group C, with Morocco aiming to secure top spot and enter the knockout phase with momentum.
Strong support is also expected from the Moroccan community across the United States, particularly in Atlanta, where thousands of supporters are anticipated to create a vibrant atmosphere as the Atlas Lions pursue another important result on the world stage.
With qualification ambitions firmly intact, Morocco view the encounter not only as a decisive group-stage fixture but also as another opportunity to continue growing as one of the tournament’s most organised and confident teams.
