History

edit

Morocco has never qualified for the Rugby World Cup; their best result is 16-all draw with Namibia in 1994 in the last stages of 1995 World Cup qualifying.

Morocco lost the qualifying process for the 2007 Rugby World Cup. They were the winner of group ("B") with Uganda and Ivory Coast, but lost both the home and away games against the winner of group A Namibia. They lost twice with Portugal in January 2007, for a berth in the Rugby World Cup as Repechage 1.
