Morocco’s national football team continued its preparations on Monday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, as players included in the expanded squad took part in a new training session ahead of the announcement of the final list for the 2026 World Cup.
According to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, the session took place in a focused and disciplined atmosphere. Head coach Mohamed Ouahbi and his technical staff programmed a series of technical and tactical exercises, along with physical drills aimed at improving the players’ readiness before the global tournament.
The current training camp is not a routine gathering, but the final evaluation stage before the final World Cup squad is announced. The expanded list gives Ouahbi one last opportunity to assess the players physically, tactically and mentally before choosing the final 26 names who will represent Morocco.
As part of this preparation, the Atlas Lions are scheduled to play a friendly match against Burundi on Tuesday at noon. The game is more than a simple preparation match, as it will serve as a final test for players still competing for a place in the final squad.
Mohamed Ouahbi is also expected to hold a press conference on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the press room of the Mohammed VI Football Complex. During the conference, he will reveal the final list of players called up to take part in the 2026 World Cup.
The training camp also comes at a decisive moment for Moroccan football, as Ouahbi prepares to announce his final World Cup squad only a few months after taking charge of the national team. Morocco enters the 2026 World Cup with high expectations, following its historic semi-final run in Qatar in 2022, where it became the first African and Arab team to reach that stage of the competition.
