The countdown has begun for Morocco, as FIFA sets a clear timeline ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup for all national teams, including the Atlas Lions.
According to FIFA guidelines, a crucial first step awaits head coach Mohamed Ouahbi: the publication of an expanded preliminary list of up to 50 players by May 11 at the latest.
This list will serve as the basis for narrowing down the selections before the final decision.
The final list of 26 players who will represent Morocco must be submitted by May 30. This critical deadline will officially determine the squad’s composition for the World Cup.
Drawn into a tough group with Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti, Morocco will kick off its campaign on June 13. Until then, all eyes will be on the final roster, which fans are eagerly awaiting.
