Morocco are Arab Beach Soccer Cup champions! The national beach soccer team crowned a memorable campaign in Egypt with a thrilling 6-5 victory over Mauritania in the final of the 2026 Arab Beach Soccer Cup. The result delivered a major international title for the Moroccan side after a dramatic contest that kept the outcome in doubt until the final moments.
Morocco Win a Dramatic 6-5 Final
The final against Mauritania proved to be a fitting conclusion to the tournament. Both teams produced an attacking display, finding the net 11 times in a high-scoring encounter. Morocco eventually edged the match 6-5 to lift the trophy and celebrate the achievement with the Moroccan supporters.
Beach soccer is a fast and demanding format in which momentum can change quickly. The narrow scoreline underlines how competitive the final was, while Morocco’s six goals proved decisive in a contest between two sides that had earned their places in the championship match.
A Strong Tournament Journey
Morocco reached the final after beating hosts Egypt 3-2 in the semi-finals on 8 November. The goals in that match were scored by Zouhair El Jabbary, Amine El Bidouri and Idriss Ghanam, according to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
Mauritania also secured its place in the final with a 5-3 semi-final victory over Lebanon. The two teams then met in Port Said for the title, with Morocco completing the job through the 6-5 final win. The tournament was the fifth edition of the Arab Beach Soccer Cup, organised by the Union of Arab Football Associations.
A Proud Moment for Moroccan Beach Soccer
This triumph is an important moment for Moroccan beach soccer and another occasion for the national colours to shine on the international stage. Winning a final by a single goal makes the achievement even more memorable, especially against a Mauritanian team that pushed Morocco throughout the match.
Congratulations to the players, coaching staff and everyone involved in the national team. The title belongs to the entire Moroccan football family. Dima Maghrib!
