Five Wins, Sharp Edge, and a Squad Built for This
Morocco's pre-tournament build-up tells the story of a squad that means business.
Five wins and two draws across friendly action — and the highlights are electric. In May, the national team put five past Burundi with a 5–0 demolition, then followed up with a 4–0 sweep of Madagascar.
March sharpened the tactical edge further: a 2–1 victory over Paraguay and a 1–1 draw with Ecuador, revealing the competitive steel running through this group.
The final warm-up — a 1–1 draw with Norway on 7 June — offered a stiff test and left the squad finely tuned and ready. Yalla Maghreb!
From Paris to Piraeus — One Family, One Flag
This is what moves the heart: a squad spanning continents, every player a proud son of Morocco.
In defence, A. Hakimi (Paris Saint Germain) and N. Mazraoui (Manchester United) anchor the backline, while N. Aguerd (Marseille) and I. Diop (Fulham) add depth and steel at the back.
The midfield is where the richness of this squad truly shines. Brahim Díaz (Real Madrid) brings something special alongside S. Amrabat (Real Betis), B. El Khannouss (VfB Stuttgart), and N. El Aynaoui (AS Roma). A. Ounahi (Girona) and A. Ezzalzouli (Real Betis) complete a midfield bursting with different qualities.
Up front, A. El Kaabi (Olympiakos Piraeus) and S. Rahimi (Al Ain) lead the attacking line, with I. Saibari (PSV Eindhoven) and Gessime Yassine (Strasbourg) pushing for their moment in the spotlight.
Between the posts, Y. Bounou (Al-Hilal Saudi FC) heads the goalkeeping options, supported by M. Mohamedi (Renaissance Berkane) and A. Tagnaouti (FAR Rabat).
Sons of Morocco. Every single one. Dima Maghrib!
