Summary

  • Achraf Hakimi will present Morocco’s World Cup 2026 pennant, a uniquely shaped design rated 11 out of 10 in the latest showdown.
  • Arabic script reading Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the pennant’s overall shape drove the praise, with the script’s elegance earning bonus points despite no match or opponent details.
  • Canada’s counterpart scored 4 out of 10, hurt by untidy tassels and prominent CANADA lettering judged redundant because the logo already identified the host.
