The Moroccan Football Federation has scheduled a match against Norway on June 7, 2026 at the Sports Illustrated Field in Harrison, New Jersey. The governing body expects a sold-out match due to the significant presence of the Moroccan community in North America.

Coach Mohamed Ouahbi is using this Scandinavian confrontation to prepare his team for the group match against Scotland. The goal is to accustom the players to intense athletic impact, a direct style of play, and good management of set pieces under pressure.

A second match is in the validation phase against El Salvador, with a principle agreement already reached between the two federations. This match will take place at the Moroccan team’s training camp a few days before the Norwegian match, in order to understand the technical characteristics of the CONCACAF zone before facing Haiti.
