The Morocco national team has announced its final squad for the 2026 World Cup. Head coach Mohamed Ouahbi has selected 26 players to travel to the tournament hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Morocco has established itself as a consistent and strong team on the international stage in recent years. Consequently, this squad has attracted the attention of fans and experts alike. The roster features experienced players competing in top European clubs, the Arab world, and other competitive leagues.
The goalkeepers include Yassine Bounou, Munir Mohamedi, and Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti. Al-Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, in particular, is a key figure for Morocco due to his experience in major tournaments, composure, and decisive saves.
In the defensive line, one of the team's biggest stars is Achraf Hakimi. The PSG player significantly impacts Morocco's game with his speed, attacking contributions, and activity on the right flank. Alongside him, Noussair Mazraoui, Anass Salah-Eddine, Youssef Belammari, Issa Diop, Chadi Riad, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Redouane Hallhal, and Nayef Aguerd complete the defense.
Morocco's defense relies on physical strength, speed, and tactical discipline. Stability in defense is crucial in such tournaments, as every mistake can be costly at the World Cup.
The midfield features players like Neil El Aynaoui, Azzedine Ounahi, Ismael Saibari, Bilal El Khannouss, Samir El Mourabet, Sofyan Amrabat, and Ayyoub Bouaddi. This line possesses sufficient combativeness, technique, and game management skills. Sofyan Amrabat's experience and reliable presence in the center of the pitch will be a major pillar for the team.
The attacking line also looks quite intriguing. Real Madrid's Brahim Diaz, Olympiacos striker Ayoub El Kaabi, Abde Ezzalzouli, Soufiane Rahimi, Yassine Kechta, Ayoub Amraoui, and Chamseddine Talbi are set to pose a threat to opponents in Morocco's forward line.
Brahim Diaz's creativity and technical skill are expected to bring a new dimension to Morocco's attacks. He is dangerous in one-on-one situations, can unlock defenses with his passing, and has the ability to score when needed.
The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Morocco heads to this tournament with a strong and balanced squad, blending experience, youthful energy, and players proven on the big stage.
In short, Mohamed Ouahbi has announced Morocco's 26-man final squad for the 2026 World Cup. Leaders like Bounou, Hakimi, Mazraoui, Amrabat, and Brahim Diaz will be the team's main hope. With this squad, Morocco is going to the World Cup not just to participate, but to showcase their character on the grand stage once again.
