Morocco national team matches: Walid Regragui’s little surprises

A list of twenty-seven players has been finalized for the two friendly matches scheduled at the Grand Stade de Tanger. The Atlas Lions will face Mozambique on November 14 and Uganda on November 18. These two matches, scheduled for 8:00 pm, will serve as the final tests to fine-tune the automatisms before the continental tournament.

According to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), this selection is marked by several notable adjustments. It confirms the return of former captain Romain Saïss (Al-Sadd), as well as those of Soufiane Rahimi (Al Ain FC) and Sofiane Diop (Nice).
