Moroccan national coach Walid Rekragui became the legend of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, after he wrote his name in the World Cup records and its history after he became the first Arab and African coach to reach the semi-finals in the World Cup tournaments, which started in 1930 and until 2022 the region did not witness the semi-finals. In the World Cup, there is any Arab or African presence, which was limited to being present before in the group stage, the round of 16, and perhaps the quarter-finals for only two African teams before.

And the Moroccan national team, led by coach Walid Rekragui, who took over the Moroccan national team coach last August, just two months ago, became the first African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in history, and the first Arab team also to reach this role.

And no competing player was able to score against Morocco in the last 18 consecutive periods of play (more than 14 hours of play), including a penalty shoot-out match, and also the opponent did not score in their goal, and so far Morocco’s defense line is the strongest in the Qatar World Cup 2022 and entered their goal (Reverse target only).

Regragui had taken over the training of the first Moroccan national team, succeeding Waheed Khalilouich, last August, with a contract that extends until the 2026 World Cup.

Walid Rekragui was born in the municipality of Corbeil-Esson in the southern suburbs of Paris, France, on September 23, 1975, and he is now 47 years old. .

The last team Walid Regragui played for was the French team Fleury Merogis, and the first team he played for was Racing Club de France, or what is known as Racing Paris, in the 1998-1999 season.

Regragui worked as an assistant in the Moroccan national team between 2012 and 2013, and it was his first training experience, and when coach Rachid Taoussi was dismissed in October 2013, his contract was also terminated, before he returned after that in 2022 to become the coach of the Moroccan national team.

Walid Al-Rakraki won the Moroccan League in the 2015-2016 season with the Al-Fateh Sports Union team, and won the Moroccan Throne Cup in 2014 with the same team. He also won the Qatari League with Al-Duhail in the 2019-2020 season, and crowned with Wydad Casablanca the Moroccan League title and the 2022 CAF Champions League. .
