The Atlas Lions are preparing for another important step in their journey towards the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, with head coach Mohamed Ouahbi scheduled to announce his latest squad on November 5 ahead of a double-header against Niger.
Morocco will open their training camp on November 9, as the national team looks to build on its perfect start to the qualifying campaign and strengthen its position at the top of Group A.
The two fixtures will provide another opportunity for the Atlas Lions to maintain their momentum and move closer to securing qualification for the continental tournament, which will be hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
Rabat Set to Host the First Encounter
Morocco will welcome Niger to the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat on November 13 for the first meeting between the two sides in this qualifying double-header.
The teams will meet again on November 17, when the return fixture offers Morocco another opportunity to collect valuable points in their pursuit of qualification.
With two matches scheduled within a short period, Ouahbi will need to select a squad capable of maintaining consistency while managing the demands of the international window.
The announcement on November 5 will therefore be closely watched by Moroccan supporters,
particularly as they look forward to seeing which players the national team coach will trust for the upcoming challenges.
Atlas Lions Aim to Extend Perfect Start
Morocco enter the November fixtures in a strong position after winning their opening two qualifying matches.
The Atlas Lions recorded identical 2–0 victories over Gabon and Lesotho, collecting six points from their first two outings and moving to the top of Group A.
Those results gave the national team an encouraging start to the campaign, with the team now looking to carry that confidence into the encounters against Niger.
Maintaining their defensive solidity while continuing to convert attacking opportunities will be important as Morocco seek to extend their winning run.
A Key Step Towards AFCON 2027
With the next international window approaching, the November double-header represents an important opportunity for Morocco to consolidate their position in the qualifying group.
The squad announcement on November 5 will offer the first indication of Ouahbi’s plans for the two matches, with supporters eager to discover which players will be called upon to help the team continue its progress.
For the Atlas Lions, the objective is clear: build on the opening victories, collect more points and take another step towards AFCON 2027, where Morocco will aim to make their presence felt on Africa’s biggest international football stage.
