Morocco face France in Thursday’s World Cup quarter-final, a rematch of the 2022 semi-final, with the Atlas Lions returning as genuine title contenders.
Ouahbi said there would be no talk of success until Morocco’s World Cup journey is over.
“We will take stock at the end of the tournament,” he said. “I will not say anything now because we can achieve more. We are not going to listen to people who say what we have done so far is wonderful.
“France are favourites, but we will do everything possible to win tomorrow and qualify for the semi-finals. I don’t like the feeling that we have already done well by getting here and everything else is a bonus. No, the bonus is to win the World Cup. That is the mentality that has brought us this far, and we want to go even further.”

France booked their place in the quarter-finals with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the last 16, with captain Kylian Mbappe scoring the winning penalty. Mbappe has netted seven goals at the tournament, leaving him one behind Argentina captain Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot.
Didier Deschamps’ side also boast an outstanding attacking line-up featuring Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola, making them one of the most dangerous teams left in the competition.
Morocco, though, have shown throughout the tournament that they can compete with the very best. They progressed comfortably through the group stage before eliminating the Netherlands and co-hosts Canada to reach the quarter-finals.
Ouahbi believes his players must produce their best performance yet if they are to overcome France.
“It is not a question of assets,” he said. “The Moroccan team is improving, just as France are improving. The key is to play the match without regrets. There are things we must improve. We have to play at 2,000 per cent and not think that what we have done so far is enough.”
