The Moroccan national football team defeated Paraguay 1-0 in an international friendly match at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. The sole goal was scored by midfielder Amine Harit in the 81st minute, securing the victory for the Atlas Lions.
The match served as preparation for both teams ahead of upcoming international competitions. Morocco's coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, highlighted the tactical differences from their previous friendly against Ecuador, which ended in a 0-0 draw. "It was a different match from the one against Ecuador, played on Friday in Madrid. We had to find natural connections and adapt to the opponent," Ouahbi explained in a post-match press conference.
This result marks a positive end to Morocco's two-game European friendly series. The team focused on building cohesion and testing strategies with a squad featuring both established and emerging players. Paraguay, preparing for its own World Cup qualifying campaign, provided a competitive test for the North African side.
