Morocco Squad for 2026 FIFA World Cup – Full List of Players; Hakimi in, En-Nesyri out

Morocco’s new coach Mohamed Ouahbi has selected Nayef Aguerd in his 26-player World Cup squad, despite the defender not having played since early March, but omitting forward Youssef En-Nesyri ahead of the finals in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Marseille defender Aguerd has missed almost three months due to injury and is still not fully recovered, but is in the group and will get the chance to prove his fitness.

En-Nesyri was a central figure for Morocco, reaching the last four in 2022, and was part of their squad for the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil, which ended in January.

Morocco opens its World Cup campaign in Group C against Brazil in New Jersey on June 13, followed by a clash with Scotland six days later in Boston, and then a final pool match against Haiti in Miami on June 24.
