Morocco 🇲🇦

Mohamed Ouahbi took charge of the Atlas Lions in March after the departure of Walid Regragui, who was responsible for leading Morocco to the semifinals of the last World Cup.

He faces the biggest challenge of his career after already making history by leading Morocco to last year’s U-20 World Cup title.

And he lost two undisputed starters right at the end of preparations: center-back Nayef Aguerd and forward Abde Ezzalzouli were ruled out.

Ezzalzouli was expected to be one of Morocco’s great hopes after a strong season alongside Antony at Betis. 

Mazraoui was once a doubt, but recovered from a dislocated shoulder. 

Bono, Hakimi and Saibari remain the team’s key figures.

The lineup is: Bono; Hakimi, Diop, Chadi Riad, Mazraoui; Bouaddi, El Aynaoui; Brahim Díaz, El Khanouss, Ounahi; Saibari.
