The Moroccan Olympic football team is strengthening for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Nayef Aguerd, defender of West Ham, will join Achraf Hakimi of Paris Saint-Germain and Yassine Bounou, goalkeeper of Al-Hilal, to form an experienced trio within the team.

Coach Tarik Sektioui and supervisor Walid Regragui have also received the approval of several European clubs for the release of their players. Abdessamad Ezzalzouli (Real Betis), Ilias Akhomach (Villarreal), Yassine Kechta and Oussama Targhalline (Le Havre AC), Eliesse Ben Seghir (Monaco) and Benjamin Bouchouari (Saint-Étienne) will thus join the ranks of the Olympic selection.

The Moroccans will begin their Olympic tournament on July 24 against Argentina at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Étienne. They will then face Ukraine on July 27, before concluding the group stage against Iraq on July 30 at the Allianz Riviera in Nice.
