They first competed in the FIFA World Cup in 1970 and have qualified for multiple tournaments since then. Their presence on the big stage has grown over the decades, highlighted most recently by their historic performance at the 2022 World Cup, where they became the first African and Arab nation to reach the semifinals
The FIFA World Cup 2026 — hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19, 2026 — will be the largest World Cup in history with 48 teams competing.
