The selections of Morocco, Algeria and Guinea have revealed their list for the international break in November. Osame Sahraoui, Aïssa Mandi and Mohamed Bayo were called up.
Called up for the very first time with Morocco during the last international break, Osame Sahraoui (23) experienced his first minutes on October 15 during a duel with the Central African Republic (0-4). Appearing 18 times (861 minutes) with LOSC, he was logically recalled by Walid Regragui and is part of a list of 26 players for the international break in November. The Atlas Lions will face Gabon on November 15 in Franceville, and Lesotho on November 18 in Oujda, as part of the 5th and 6th days of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
After four contested days, Morocco is the undisputed leader of Group B with four wins and twelve points on the clock. His men are ahead of Gabon, second, by five units.

After Morocco, it is Guinea's turn to reveal the identity of the men who will defend its coat of arms. For his second gathering since his return to the head of Syli National, coach Michel Dussuyer opted for continuity with a group of 23 players substantially similar to the one already composed during the month of October. Mohamed Bayo (26 years old), replacing Serhou Guirassy, was called up again for the month of November. He appeared eleven times (295 minutes) with LOSC this season.
In great difficulty at the start of the competition, Guinea, second with six points, got back on track with two wins over Ethiopia in October. Leading with 12 units, the Democratic Republic of Congo is untouchable. The Guineas will meet this opponent on November 16 at Ebimpé in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) then Tanzania on November 19 in Dar es Salam.
Guinea: The selected
- Guardians: M. Camara, O. Camara, Keita
- Defenders: Jeanvier, A. Conte, I. Conte, Diakité, Oulare, Sow, I. Sylla, S. Sylla

- Attackers: Bucket, Bah, Bayo, Diawara, Kamano, Guirassy
After Osame Sahraoui and Mohamed Bayo, two offensive players, it is Aïssa Mandi (33 years old) to be called up. The central defender, capable of playing on the flanks, was selected by Vladimir Petkovic in a group of 26 players for the last two games of the year. With qualification in hand, the technician achieved a slight turnover with, for example, the presence of Copenhagen striker: Amin Chiakha. As a reminder, Algeria is first in its group with twelve units gleaned out of twelve possible.
Aïssa Mandi & Co have an appointment with Equatorial Guinea on November 14 in Malabo, Liberia on November 17 in Tizi-Ouzou in this final stretch of the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
