Morocco penalty taker

Brahim Diaz is our current Morocco penalty taker call, with Achraf Hakimi next in line if the order changes.

Brahim Diaz is the clearest current Morocco primary. The deeper AFCON 2025 scan now strengthens rather than weakens that call: he took the March 2025 World Cup qualifying penalty against Tanzania, scored again from the spot against Mali at AFCON, and was then trusted with the huge late penalty in the AFCON final against Senegal ahead of Hakimi and the rest of Morocco's attack. The Panenka miss in that final was bad execution, not a hierarchy change. Hakimi remains the clearest challenger if the order shifts.

If you searched for Morocco penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Brahim Diaz is the current first-choice call for Morocco, with Achraf Hakimi the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
