The new head coach of the Moroccan national team, Mohamed Ouahbi, will hold his first press conference on Thursday, March 19, 2026, since his appointment to lead the Atlas Lions. This event, scheduled to start at 12:00 PM at the Mohammed VI Football Complex auditorium, will be dedicated to presenting the list of players selected for Morocco’s next two friendly matches.
This announcement is particularly anticipated, as it will reveal Mohamed Ouahbi’s initial choices for the matches against Ecuador, set for March 27 in Madrid, and against Paraguay on March 31 in Lens, France. These two fixtures will serve as important tests for the Moroccan team, which is continuing its preparation for upcoming international challenges.
Beyond the list of summoned players, this conference is also expected to provide a first glimpse into Ouahbi’s methods, his technical orientations, and the profiles he wishes to rely on to kick off his tenure. Observers are particularly eager to see whether he will opt for continuity or choose to inject new blood into a group that is already closely monitored.
Furthermore, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has also announced a reinforcement within the technical staff. Youssef Hajji officially joins the national A team as the second assistant coach, alongside João Sacramento, who has been appointed as the first assistant. This addition strengthens the coaching staff of the Atlas Lions just days before this new gathering.
