Morocco's Possible Lineup to Face Haiti at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Morocco enters the final matchday of Group C with qualification all but secured, but still with one objective left to accomplish: finishing top of the group.
The Morocco national team heads into its final group-stage match with the opportunity to secure a place in the Round of 32 as the leader of Group C. After drawing against Brazil and defeating Scotland, the Atlas Lions remain unbeaten and in control of their own destiny as they look to complete an impressive opening phase at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The side led by Mohamed Ouahbi has displayed defensive solidity, relentless intensity in recovering possession, and an ability to compete against top-level opponents. Now, they will look to build on those performances against a Haiti team that has already been eliminated but will aim to leave the tournament on a positive note.
Ismael Saibari Leads Morocco's Attack
Much of Morocco's attacking hopes rest on the exceptional form of Ismael Saibari. The PSV Eindhoven star, who is reportedly set to join Bayern Munich, has been decisive in the tournament so far, scoring his nation's only two goals in the opening matches.
His ability to arrive in dangerous areas, create opportunities in tight spaces, and finish with precision has made him one of the revelations of this World Cup. He will be supported by talented teammates such as Brahim Díaz, Azzedine Ounahi, and Bilal El Khannouss, who provide creativity and flair in the final third.
Everything suggests that Ouahbi will keep faith with the core group that defeated Scotland, prioritizing continuity at a crucial stage of the competition.
The Lineup Mohamed Ouahbi Is Expected to Use
The projected Morocco lineup against Haiti features Yassine Bounou in goal; Achraf Hakimi, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, and Noussair Mazraoui in defense; Neil El Aynaoui and Ayyoub Bouaddi in midfield; while Brahim Díaz, Azzedine Ounahi, and Bilal El Khannouss are expected to support Ismael Saibari in attack.
The experience of players such as Hakimi, Mazraoui, and Bounou has been essential in maintaining the team's balance, while the blend of youth and attacking talent has helped Morocco establish itself as one of the most consistent sides in the tournament.
