Morocco will continue its preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a high profile friendly against Norway on Sunday at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, offering supporters an early glimpse of the squad that will represent the kingdom at football’s biggest tournament.
The match forms part of coach Mohamed Ouahbi’s build up to Morocco’s seventh World Cup appearance and third consecutive qualification, a milestone that underlines the country’s emergence as one of Africa’s leading football powers.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1).
Moroccan viewers will be able to watch the match live on Arryadia, which holds domestic broadcasting rights for the fixture. The game will also be streamed free of charge through Arryadia’s official YouTube channel, allowing fans to follow the action online.
The friendly comes less than a week before Morocco begins its World Cup campaign in Group C. The Atlas Lions open against Brazil on June 13 at MetLife Stadium in New York, before facing Scotland on June 19 at Gillette Stadium in Boston. Morocco will conclude the group stage against Haiti on June 24 at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The match against Norway is expected to provide Ouahbi with one of his final opportunities to assess tactical options and squad combinations before the tournament begins.
