The Moroccan national team was held to a 0-0 draw by Ecuador in an international friendly match played at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, Spain, on Thursday, March 27, 2026. The match served as preparation for both teams ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures.
Morocco, under coach Walid Regragui, fielded a strong lineup but struggled to break down a disciplined Ecuadorian defense. The Atlas Lions' best chance fell to striker Youssef En-Nesyri in the first half, but his header was saved by goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez.
Ecuador, managed by Félix Sánchez, created several dangerous opportunities on the counter-attack. Forward Jordy Caicedo came closest to scoring for La Tri, forcing a sharp save from Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou in the 65th minute.
The result leaves both sides with work to do offensively before their next matches. Morocco is preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, while Ecuador will continue its build-up for the Copa América tournament later in the year.
