The 7th-ranked team has impressed in recent years. They won the African Futsal Cup of Nations twice, and also reached the quarter-finals of the Futsal World Cup in 2021 in Lithuania, only to lose 1-0 to Brazil.
Last September, Seleção returned to knock off Morocco again in the quarterfinals 3-1 during the Futsal World Cup Uzbekistan.
Meanwhile, the Atlas Lions have also become a powerhouse in the Arab region after they have clinched the Arab Futsal Cup three times in a row.
Coach Dguig has been at the helm for eleven years, moulding the squad into a strong title contender in every competition they enter.
