FIFA March 2026 matchday: Morocco set for a fresh start

The Moroccan national team is gearing up to usher in a new era starting with the upcoming international break scheduled for March.

The African vice-champions of Africa will square off on March 27 against Ecuador at Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, before facing Paraguay on the 31st of the same month at the Bollaert-Delelis Stadium in Lens, France.

According to Moroccan media outlet Almountakhab, Morocco's squad list will feature seven new players, notably including the trio Yasser Zabiri, Othmane Maâma, and Ismael Baouf, who played a key role in the Lion Cubs' triumph at the U20 World Cup.

Another new face expected in the Moroccan lineup is Yanis Begraoui, the striker from Portuguese club Estoril Praia, who has racked up 15 goals and 2 assists in 22 Liga Portugal matches.

Meanwhile, Mehdi Benabid, the last line of defense for Wydad Athletic Club, will return to the Atlas Lions' den, replacing Munir Mohand Mohamedi El Kajoui, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
