The Morocco national team returns to action following its World Cup campaign and is already beginning to focus on its next major objective: the Africa Cup of Nations. For the September international window, head coach Mohamed Ouahbi unveiled a squad that combines established stars with several highly promising young players.
Morocco Unveils a Squad Packed With Talent
Morocco unveiled a star-studded squad for its upcoming international matches in September.
The Atlas Lions will face Gabon and Lesotho in the qualifiers and will look to use this international window to continue building a competitive squad ahead of their upcoming challenges.
Experience will be present in virtually every area of the field. In goal, Yassine Bounou stands out alongside Munir El Kajoui, Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti and Alaa Bellaarouch.
The defense also features several notable names. Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui are among those called up, alongside Nayef Aguerd, Issa Diop, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, Anass Salah-Eddine, Marwane Saadane, Redouane Halhal and Ali Maamar.
The variety of options will give Mohamed Ouahbi several alternatives when putting together his defensive line for the upcoming matches.
A Midfield Packed With Talent
One of the most exciting areas of the squad is the midfield. Brahim Díaz, Azzedine Ounahi and Ismael Saibari are part of a group that also includes promising youngsters such as Ayyoub Bouaddi and Neil El Aynaoui.
They are joined by Bilal El Khannouss, Oussama Targhalline, Samir El Mourabet, Soufiane El-Faouzi and Yassine Gessime, giving the head coach multiple options to shape his midfield.
In attack, Morocco will be able to rely on Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Soufiane Rahimi, Abdellah Ouazane, Tawfik Bentayeb and Yassir Zabiri.
With experienced stars and a new generation beginning to earn its place, Morocco has named a squad packed with talent for September. The upcoming matches will provide another test for a team already beginning to prepare for its next major challenges on the international stage.
