Morocco head coach Mohamed Ouahbi is set to name his squad for upcoming international friendlies against Ecuador and Paraguay during a press conference on Thursday, according to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
The announcement will take place at the Mohammed VI Football Complex at 12:00 local time, where Ouahbi is expected to unveil the list of players selected for the two matches scheduled later this month.
The Atlas Lions will first face Ecuador on 27 March in Madrid, Spain, before taking on Paraguay on 31 March in Lens, France.
The fixtures form part of Morocco’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup, offering the coaching staff an opportunity to assess the squad in competitive conditions.
The forthcoming squad announcement comes at a time of heightened interest surrounding the national team, particularly following recent adjustments within the technical staff.
With new figures joining the coaching setup, attention is focused on how Ouahbi, who replaced Regragui, will shape the team and which players will be entrusted with key roles.
These friendlies are expected to serve as a testing ground for both established players and those seeking to cement their place in the squad.
For some, the matches may represent a crucial opportunity to impress the coaching staff ahead of future competitive fixtures.
The two opponents present contrasting challenges for Morocco.
Ecuador are known for their pace and physicality, characteristics often associated with South American football.
Paraguay, by contrast, have built a reputation on defensive organisation and tactical discipline, posing a different type of test for Ouahbi’s side.
The squad announcement on Thursday is expected to generate significant attention among supporters and analysts alike, as it may offer the first clear indication of the direction the national team is taking following recent changes behind the scenes.
With just days to go before the first match, all eyes will be on the Mohammed VI Football Complex as Morocco begins the next phase of its World Cup preparations.
