After being quarter-finalists in Lithuania during the 2021 edition, Morocco will be looking to go even further with the status of being three-time African champions. This will be Morocco’s fourth FIFA Futsal World Cup appearance.
Runners-up, Angola are also making a return to the global showpiece for the second time following their 2021 appearance that saw them exit the competition at the group stages.
African bronze-medalists, who stunned Egypt to secure their ticket to the global showpiece will be hoping to continue their impressive run.
The Mediterranean Knights were in fine-form in Morocco and showed resillience in reversing a 2-0 lead to draw with tournament favourites, Egypt before edging them on penalties for a podium finish that sees them through to the global showpiece later this year.
