Morocco's Ambitious World Cup Journey
With Bundesliga professional Bilal El Khannouss and prolific leader Achraf Hakimi at the helm, Morocco's national football team is determined to replicate its remarkable success from the 2022 World Cup. National coach Mohamed Ouahbi has included not only PSG star Hakimi but also the offensive talent from VfB Stuttgart, El Khannouss, in his 26-man squad for the upcoming tournament, which will take place across the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19. Four years ago in Qatar, the North African team astonishingly reached the semifinals, a feat that has set high expectations for this year.
Following their controversial designation as Africa Cup winners after a halted final against Senegal (0:1), Morocco is building on this momentum by also incorporating forward Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid and former Bayern Munich player Noussair Mazraoui into their ranks. As they prepare to face formidable opponents in Group C, including record World Cup champions Brazil, Scotland, and the underdogs Haiti, the Moroccan squad is poised to make a significant impact on the global stage.
