The Moroccan national football team, the Atlas Lions, will play an international friendly against El Salvador in June 2026. The match is part of Morocco's preparation schedule for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which they qualified for after a historic semi-final run in the 2022 tournament.
The fixture was confirmed by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). The exact date and venue for the match are expected to be announced in the coming months. This will be a key test for Morocco as they finalize their squad and tactics ahead of the global tournament.
El Salvador, while not qualified for the 2026 World Cup, provides a competitive opponent from the CONCACAF region. Morocco's preparatory schedule is likely to include several such friendlies against teams from different confederations to simulate the varied challenges of the World Cup group stage.
The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Morocco, as one of Africa's top-ranked teams, will be aiming to build on their previous success and make another deep run in the competition.
