Mohamed Ouahbi Ayoube Amaimouni World Cup 2026 Morocco Squad
Moroccan coach Mohamed Ouahbi unveiled his 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup. The unexpected call-up of Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab is explained by an explosive profile and consistent performances monitored with his Frankfurt club.
The selection for this tournament does not take into account past achievements or club status. The coach stood by his decision by sweeping aside usual criteria. "I wasn’t looking at age, I wasn’t looking at where you play, I’m not looking at whether you had 20, 30 or no caps," the coach insisted. This call-up rewards a player who has amply proven on the pitch that he deserved to join the current squad.

The player first caught the technical staff’s eye with his performances in Germany. The staff made the trip to supervise all his matches with Frankfurt, discovering a right-winger profile, left-footed, very dynamic and generous in his defensive efforts. This addition fits perfectly into the game plan. Explosive and capable of quickly taking depth, he quickly assimilates tactical demands.

His first appearance during the recent training camp dispelled any potential questions. Rather than surprising the staff on the pitch, he simply confirmed the confidence placed in him, particularly during the last match. Beyond his athletic qualities, his mentality won over a coach praising a footballer extremely proud, very happy to be present at the gathering and displaying overflowing desire.
