The Moroccan national team is looking to snatch fifth place from its Brazilian counterpart in the FIFA World Ranking.
The Arab national team has made a rocket leap in this ranking after a series of positive results achieved during the last two years.
Argentina tops the world rankings, while France is in second place, followed by Spain and England.
Morocco's national team raised its points tally to 1769.98 in the FIFA rankings, strengthening its sixth position ahead of Portugal.
The Arab team trails Brazil by only 2.03 points, with the latter continuing to occupy fifth place thanks to its 3-0 victory over Haiti on Saturday.
The "Atlas Lions" need to win their next match against Haiti, while hoping that the "Seleção" stumble against Scotland, in order to climb to fifth place globally.
The Moroccan national team has never surpassed its Brazilian counterpart in the FIFA rankings since its inception in 1992.
The Moroccan national team has taken a big step towards qualifying for the round of 32 of the tournament. The "Atlas Lions" occupy second place in Group C with 4 points, trailing Brazil on goal difference.
A draw or a win would allow Morocco to reach the next round of the competition, and they could also qualify even if they lose to Haiti, provided Scotland does not beat Brazil or win by a large margin that would give the Arab football representative a better goal difference.
Even if these conditions are not met, the Moroccan national team is still able to qualify for the next round as one of the best third-placed teams.
