Brahim Diaz discussed his two-assist performance in the 3-0 win over Canada and how far the Atlas Lions could go at the FIFA World Cup 2026. Diaz stated, "It's a dream, for sure, to be experiencing this World Cup, to reach the quarter-finals, to help the team with everything we're doing and with what I do. But the most important thing is to be in the quarter-finals." He also highlighted Morocco's mental toughness, saying, "Above all, today's mindset [stood out], because the first half wasn't easy; it was tough. And in the end, that says a lot about the team, about the attitude we have, and turning things around in situations like this is a very good sign for whatever comes our way."
Morocco posted a 3-0 victory over Canada in the Round of 16 at Houston Stadium, reaching the final eight. They achieved the same feat at Qatar 2022, making them the first African team to reach the quarter-finals in two different World Cup editions. Their campaign in 2022 ended in the semi-finals, the best ever finish for a CAF side. Diaz, the No10, debuted with the Atlas Lions in March 2024. He served up two assists against Canada.
