Newly appointed Morocco national football team coach Mohamed Ouahbi has conducted his first training camp with the Atlas Lions, initiating preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The camp, held in March 2026, focused on evaluating players and beginning the tactical transition under the former U20 coach's leadership.
Ouahbi, who was officially appointed head coach in late 2025, succeeded Walid Regragui. His initial selection included a mix of experienced internationals and younger talents, signaling a potential squad renewal. The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has emphasized building a competitive team for the World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
The camp did not include official friendly matches, serving instead as an introductory period. The coach's immediate challenge is to finalize his core squad ahead of upcoming qualifying matches and preparatory tournaments scheduled for later in 2026.
