The Morocco national football team has represented Morocco in men's international football since their first international match in 1957. It is controlled by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the governing body for football in Morocco. It has been affiliated with FIFA since 1960, with the Confederation of African Football since 1959, and with the Union of North African Football since 2005. The team, which is known as the Atlas Lions, plays home matches at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, and trains at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé.

Widely regarded as Africa's most successful national football team and one of the best teams in the world, Morocco has won five continental titles, including the 1976 and 2025 editions of the African Cup of Nations. They won the African Nations Championship in 2018, 2020 and 2024. Morocco has qualified for the FIFA World Cup on seven occasions. In 1986, they made history as the first African team to win a World Cup group and advance to the knockout stage. At the 2022 World Cup, Morocco became the first African and first Arab team to reach a World Cup semi-final. They were also the third World Cup semi-finalist from outside Europe or South America. Over 2023–2026, Morocco broke two international football world records, achieving the longest winning streak at 19 matches, and undefeated matches at 43 respectively.
