A group-stage exit in 1994 had been a sobering lesson. Morocco returned in 1998 with renewed purpose. Under Henri Michel, they were ready to write the next chapter.
Morocco found moments of promise but ultimately fell short of the consistency needed to progress beyond the group stage. With 5 goals in 3 games, they carried a consistent attacking threat throughout.
Morocco experienced an inconsistent group stage, and the mixed results were not enough to go through.

Despite moments of quality, it was not enough to advance, and Morocco's campaign ended at the the group phase.
