The Moroccan national football team played to a 0-0 draw against Ecuador in an international friendly on Friday, March 27, 2026. The match, held at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, was Morocco's first outing since winning the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in a final that was marred by controversy over refereeing decisions.
Morocco's AFCON victory in 2025 was overshadowed by significant dispute, with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) later acknowledging errors by the match officials in the final. The team's performance against Ecuador, a side preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was seen as a test of their form following that contentious triumph.
Both teams created chances but failed to find the net, with the match serving as crucial preparation for upcoming competitions. The result leaves Morocco with work to do as they build towards future World Cup qualifiers and their AFCON title defense.
