The definitive list of the Atlas Lions for the 2026 World Cup is taking shape. With less than a month to go before the competition kicks off, national coach Mohamed Ouahbi is preparing to enter the final stretch of his preparations, with several important decisions to make before the official announcement of the squad selected for the World Cup. According to the latest available information, this list is expected to be unveiled on May 29.
Before making a final decision, Morocco will hold a training camp from May 22 to 25, featuring an expanded list. This gathering will allow the technical staff to assess the players still in contention and refine the final choices, particularly in certain areas where competition remains open. This stage will therefore be crucial for several internationals hoping to secure their place in the final group.
The Atlas Lions will then play a friendly match against Burundi on May 26, providing one last opportunity for Mohamed Ouahbi to make final adjustments before announcing his list. The Moroccan coach, who was appointed to lead the team after Walid Regragui’s departure, is thus entering a decisive phase in the preparation for this major international event.
As a reminder, Morocco will compete in Group C of the 2026 World Cup, alongside Brazil, Haiti, and Scotland. This is a challenging group that will require the Atlas Lions to prepare optimally to hope to advance past the first round and confirm their status on the world stage.
With just a few weeks to go before the start of the competition, all eyes will be on Mohamed Ouahbi’s choices. Between expected key players, emerging profiles, and uncertain players, Morocco’s final list is set to be closely followed by Moroccan supporters.
