Morocco head coach Walid Regragui is confident his side can go far at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
The Atlas Lions stunned Spain 3-0 in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw to set up a last-eight clash with Portugal.
Morocco first grabbed attention at the global showpiece with a goalless draw against Croatia, the runners-up four years ago before beating Belgium 2-0 in their second group game. They concluded their group stage game with a convincing win over Canada.
"I told (my players) we should be proud of ourselves," Regragui said.
"It is an opportunity that may not be repeated. Unfortunately, I did not play in the World Cup. God has now given me an opportunity to make history as a coach. I am the happiest person in the world."
"I think Africans can go far, why not dream of winning the cup? We want the next generation to dare to dream."
