Morocco’s starting eleven set a historic record in the match they drew 1-1 against Brazil, but not one related to the result of the game. The African team became the first to present a complete lineup of footballers who were not born in the country at a World Cup.
Who were the players and where were they born? Yassine Bounou, Canada; Noussair Mazraoui, Netherlands; Issa Diop, Neil El Aynaoui and Ayyoub Bouaddi, France; Chadi Riad, Achraf Hakimi and Ismael Saibari, Spain; and Chemsdine Talbi and Bilal El Khannouss, from Belgium.
