Mohamed Wahbi named Morocco's 26-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Niger on 13 and 17 November. Youssef En-Nesyri was recalled, while Ayoub Oufkir was also called up.
Returns and call-ups
Sofiane Kiyine, Reda Belahyane and Amine Sbai were also returning to the Morocco squad. GOAL said Oufkir's call-up was a surprise call-up. GOAL said Wahbi wants to ease Oufkir into the senior setup gradually, alongside Abdallah Ouazane.
Injuries and other absences
Ismael Saibari, Soufiane Rahimi, Azzedine Ounahi and Soufiane El Fouzi were ruled out by injury. GOAL said Marouane Saadane, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Samir El Mourabet and Taoufik Ben Tayeb also missed out, most likely for technical reasons.
Goalkeepers and defenders
The squad listed by GOAL included Yassine Bounou, Munir Mohamedi, Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti and Alaa Belaarouch as goalkeepers. In defence, GOAL listed Noussair Mazraoui, Anass Salah-Eddine, Sofiane Kiyine, Nayef Aguerd, Redouane Halhal, Issa Diop, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, Achraf Hakimi and Ali El Maamari.
