The victory against Gabon (2-0) not only allowed Morocco to successfully start its campaign in the CAN 2027 qualifiers but also confirmed Mohamed Ouahbi’s desire to gradually integrate a new generation into the Lions of the Atlas.
Against the Gabonese, several young players were given their chance. Yassir Zabiri and Yassine Gessime notably started the match, while Abdellah Ouazane made his debut with the national A team during the game.
This policy is not solely a response to the numerous absences that marked the beginning of the gathering. Since announcing his first list after the World Cup, Ouahbi has emphasized the need to create continuity between the youth categories and the first team.
However, the coach does not wish to rush the process. The goal is to gradually expose these players to international competition while surrounding them with experienced leaders. This approach is already visible in the composition of the squad selected to face Gabon, Lesotho, and then Ghana.
The match on Tuesday against Lesotho could thus provide further insights into the hierarchy that Mohamed Ouahbi wishes to gradually establish among the Lions of the Atlas.
