Morocco FIFA Ranking: Brazil Showdown at World Cup 2026

In the live ranking, Brazil has 1765.86 points. Morocco, 7th in the world, has 1756.94. The gap between the two teams is therefore 8.92 points.

However, a victory against Norway would only earn Morocco around three points. The reason lies in FIFA’s calculation method: the exact score doesn’t matter. A 1-0 win earns as much as a large victory. What counts is the result, the level of the opponent, and especially the importance of the match.

Since Morocco-Norway is a friendly match played during an international window, its weight remains limited. Even with a win, Morocco would climb to around 1760 points, still behind Brazil.

The situation could change with the next match. Morocco must face Brazil directly in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. This time, the stakes are different: a World Cup match carries much more weight than a friendly in FIFA’s ranking calculation.

If Morocco beats Norway tonight, then beats Brazil in the World Cup, the Lions of the Atlas could overtake the Seleção. In this scenario, Morocco would rise to around 1785 points, while Brazil would fall to around 1741 points. The gap would then shift clearly in favor of the Moroccans.

Even without considering the match against Norway, a Moroccan victory against Brazil would already be enough to significantly move the ranking, as it would be a direct duel between two very close teams. Morocco would then gain more than 25 points, while Brazil would lose just as many.

In other words, Morocco cannot overtake Brazil tonight. A victory against Norway would mainly help consolidate its 7th place in the world and stay in contention. But the decisive meeting to overtake the Seleção in the FIFA ranking could well be the Brazil-Morocco World Cup match.
