Walid Regragui, the coach of the Atlas Lions, is a busy man. Between the 2025 African Cup of Nations at home and the 2026 World Cup, the challenges are numerous. To meet them, he is banking on youth and the emergence of new offensive talents.
Two names come up repeatedly: El Mehdi Maouhoub and Hamza Igamane. The first, revealed at Raja Club Athletic, panicked the counters at Dynamo Moscow. Arriving in Russia after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, he scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists in just 19 matches. Enough to catch the eye of the national coach.

The second, Hamza Igamane, stands out for Glasgow Rangers. With 6 goals this season, including 4 in the Europa League, he confirms the hopes placed in him. His trainer, Philippe Clement, is full of praise for him, calling him a “rare gem”. A talent that Regragui intends to exploit.
Faced with repeated calls from supporters to integrate these young players, Walid Regragui seems determined to energize his attack. If the national team can already count on players like Youssef En-Nesyri, Soufiane Rahimi and Ayoub El Kaabi, the arrival of Mohoub and Igamane promises to enrich the tactical options.
