Morocco’s Real Leader Munir Mohamedi World Cup 2026
Achraf Hakimi revealed the identity of the real boss of the Moroccan dressing room. Far from the usual stars, it is veteran goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi who stands out as the undisputed guide of the national team at this 2026 World Cup.
During a recent interview granted to the ABtalks show, the Paris Saint-Germain fullback designated the 37-year-old goalkeeper as the absolute pillar of the Lions of the Atlas. According to the defender, his authority extends far beyond the pitch. His influence remains completely intact within the group, whether he features in the starting eleven or supports his teammates from the bench.

Selected by coach Mohamed Ouahbi among the twenty-six players called up for the 2026 World Cup, Munir Mohamedi marks his third consecutive appearance on football’s biggest stage. In this high-pressure context, the continued presence of the national team’s oldest player serves as a vital anchor point to guide the rest of the group.
