As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Mohamed Ouahbi is finalizing the program of the Atlas Lions. Placed in the group with Brazil, Scotland and Haiti, the Moroccans should face Honduras and Norway in decisive friendly matches.
National coach Mohamed Ouahbi is about to seal the final program of the Lions before the start of the World Cup scheduled for this summer. Placed in Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti, Morocco is looking for opponents with a similar profile to its future rivals. A friendly match against Honduras, led by José Francisco Molina, is expected in June in an American city. This duel would take place just after a match between the Hondurans and Argentina in Texas, offering Morocco an ideal opposition to simulate the challenges of its group.

In parallel, the Atlas Lions could face Norway on June 7. Discussions are currently underway to determine the location of this clash, which could take place in France or Spain. Ståle Solbakken, the Norwegian coach, has already mentioned this possibility as a test of physical strength for the Moroccans. For Mohamed Ouahbi, this duel would be a crucial test run before flying to the United States, allowing him to test the resilience and tactical options of his squad against a European school of football.
