MOROCCO

Ranked 41. Last time: DNQ. Manager Herve Renard — Frenchman is an African football specialist having guided Zambia to Africa Cup of Nations success in 2012 and then repeating the feat with the Ivory Coast in 2015. Takes Morocco to their first World Cup in 20 years. They’re a bit like: Burnley — could be difficult to break down.

Key man: Medhi Benatia (right) — team captain and most well-known figure. Centre-half, who comes into the tournament having just won the league and cup double with Juventus.

Rising star Sofyan Amrabat — just about played enough games this season for Dutch side Feyenoord to warrant a call-up. The 21-year-old midfielder has five caps for his country. Is the younger brother of Watford’s Nordin.

Prospects Going out in the group unless something completely unexpected occurs.
