Morocco’s performances reflected a clear identity built on organisation, collective responsibility and strategic flexibility, attributes that allowed the team to remain competitive against varied opponents during the tournament.
The honour further strengthens Regragui’s reputation as one of Africa’s elite coaches and reinforces Morocco’s growing stature in continental football.
