Morocco head into their next meeting with Nigeria holding the clear advantage in the modern head-to-head record, with the Atlas Lions unbeaten in this fixture since 1997.

Recent history shows Morocco have consistently had the upper hand whenever the two sides have faced each other across competitive matches and friendlies, turning the matchup into one that has largely gone their way over the last few decades.

Nigeria’s last win over Morocco came in 1997, a result that still stands as the Super Eagles’ most recent success against the North Africans. Since then, Morocco have avoided defeat each time the teams have met, tightening their grip on a rivalry that once appeared more even.

The figures underline why Morocco will carry confidence into the next contest, with their sequence against Nigeria stretching back more than 25 years. For Nigeria, it is another reminder of a long-running challenge against an opponent that has repeatedly found a way to get results in this fixture.
