Morocco's next international chapter is approaching, with Mohamed Ouahbi set to announce his squad on Wednesday, November 4, ahead of the Atlas Lions' upcoming double-header against Niger in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation confirmed the announcement on Friday, October 30, revealing that the national team coach will hold a press conference at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, starting at 11:00 AM local time.
The announcement will provide the first indication of Ouahbi's plans for the November international window, as Morocco look to maintain their strong position in Group A and continue building towards the continental tournament.
Morocco Confirm November Squad Announcement
According to the federation's official communication, Ouahbi will unveil the list of players selected for the upcoming national-team gathering during Wednesday's press conference.
The squad announcement comes at an important moment for the Atlas Lions, with the coaching staff facing decisions over returning internationals, emerging talents and players currently enjoying strong form at club level.
Several names could attract attention, particularly as Morocco look to strengthen their options across defence, midfield and attack.
The November gathering will also give Ouahbi another opportunity to assess his players and establish greater consistency within the national team.
Preparation Begins on November 9
The Atlas Lions' preparation camp is scheduled to begin on Monday, November 9, ahead of the two encounters against Niger.
The matches will count towards the third and fourth rounds of Group A in the 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign.
Morocco will first welcome Niger on November 13 at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca. The two sides will then meet again four days later, on November 17, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
Playing both fixtures on home soil offers the Atlas Lions an opportunity to collect valuable points and strengthen their position in the qualification race.
Two Matches, One Clear Objective
With the Africa Cup of Nations approaching, every international gathering carries increasing importance for the Moroccan coaching staff.
Beyond securing positive results, the upcoming fixtures will allow Ouahbi to evaluate different combinations, give opportunities to players who need more international experience and reinforce the team's tactical identity.
The coach will also be expected to find the right balance between established internationals and emerging players capable of strengthening the squad in the long term.
For Moroccan supporters, Wednesday's announcement will therefore be closely watched, particularly as attention turns to the players who could earn a place in the latest Atlas Lions squad.
The countdown has begun: November 4 will reveal Ouahbi's choices, while November 13 and 17 will provide the next test of Morocco's ambitions on the road to AFCON 2027.
