National team coach Walid Regragui has announced his squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers against Gabon and Lesotho.

Key Returns and Notable Absences

The squad features the return of key players Brahim Diaz and Noussair Mazraoui, who have recovered from injuries. Other experienced players like Nayef Aguerd, Yassine Bounou, and Munir Mohamedi have also been called up. However, Hakim Ziyech is notably absent from the squad.

The inclusion of 18-year-old Adam Aznou, a promising talent from Bayern Munich, highlights Morocco’s commitment to youth development. While there’s excitement around the young players, concerns remain about the central defensive axis. To address this, Adam Masina has been recalled to the squad.

Match Schedule

Morocco will face Gabon on November 15th in Franceville and Lesotho on November 18th in Oujda.
