Nora Fatehi called it before a single ball was kicked, and the result proved her exactly right.
The actress and dancer attended Morocco’s FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C clash against Scotland in Boston and confidently backed her team to win 1-0 before kick-off. “I am at the Morocco vs Scotland match here in Boston. My prediction is 1-0,” she said in a video shared on Instagram.
Morocco won exactly 1-0.
The Match’s Fastest Goal of the Tournament
Ismael Saibari stunned Scotland almost immediately, scoring just 71 seconds after kick-off after finishing a pass from Brahim Díaz following a defensive lapse. The goal was confirmed after a brief VAR review.
Saibari’s strike was the fastest goal of the 2026 World Cup so far and also Morocco’s quickest ever goal at the tournament.
The early goal gave Morocco the platform they needed. The Atlas Lions controlled much of the match, and the result sealed a 1-0 win that moved Morocco to the top of Group C with four points from two matches.
Nora at the Stadium
The Moroccan-origin star was dressed in a red T-shirt and a white pleated skirt, and posted pictures and clips from inside the stadium where she was seen enthusiastically supporting Morocco from the stands.
Before the match, Nora also recalled the last time Morocco and Scotland met at a World Cup 28 years ago when Morocco secured a 3-0 win. “Scotland and Morocco are playing again after 28 years. Morocco beat them 3-0 back then. Are we going to do another 3-0? Possible!” she said.
After the final whistle, Nora shared her reaction: “Morocco vs Scotland. I predicted 1-0. #FifaWorldCup2026.”
What’s Next
Group C action concludes on Wednesday, June 24, when Morocco face Haiti, and Scotland take on Brazil.
