Rabat – Forbes has ranked Morocco first among the five most valuable national football teams in the Arab world.
“Five Arab national football teams have secured spots among the world’s 64 most valuable squads,” Forbes wrote today.
In its world ranking by market value, Forbes ranked Morocco 14th globally.
With a market value of $432.5 million, Forbes recalled that the national team made headlines with a historic fourth-place finish during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“Ranked first in Africa according to the FIFA Men’s World Ranking as of April 3, 2025, the Atlas Lions are gearing up to host the Africa Cup of Nations at the end of the year, with sights set on claiming their second continental title,” Forbes said.
Forbes emphasized that the Atlas Lions are building toward the 2030 FIFA World Club, a tournament that the North African country will host alongside Spain and Portugal.
The ranking came just a few days after another list, where Forbes ranked Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi as the most valuable Arab footballer.
The new ranking also recalled that Hakimi is the most valuable player in Morocco’s squad, with a value of $93.6 million.
Forbes team rankings included Algeria as the second most valuable team in the world, followed by Egypt, Tunisia, and the UAE.
