The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has confirmed two friendly matches for the Atlas Lions in the United States this June as part of their final preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team will first face Norway on June 5, 2026, at the Children's Mercy Park stadium in Kansas City, Kansas.
Subsequently, Morocco is scheduled to play against El Salvador on June 9, 2026. This match is set to take place at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. These fixtures are part of a strategic training camp in the U.S. designed to acclimate the team to conditions similar to those they will encounter during the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first edition to feature 48 teams. Morocco, a semi-finalist in the 2022 tournament, has automatically qualified as the host nation from the African continent. The team's performance in these high-profile friendlies will be closely watched as they finalize their squad and tactics for the global competition.
