National voter Walid Regragui revealed, today, Thursday, the Moroccan national team’s list for the matches of the fifth and sixth rounds of the African qualifiers for the finals of the African Cup of Nations “Morocco 2025”, where the teams of Gabon and Lesotho will face the “Atlas Lions”.
The final list for the two matches witnessed several surprises, most notably the continued absence of Hakim Ziyech, in addition to the exclusion of Ait Boudlal, Al-Shabi, Belhiane and Adly, for various reasons.
Regragui summoned goalkeeper Ayoub Khayati, a Royal Army player, for the first time, and the list also saw the return of defender Adam Masina.
At the level of the Moroccan professional championship, Salah El-Din Chehab, the goalkeeper of Morocco’s Fez, and Djamel Harkas, the captain of the Wydad team, were called up for the second time in a row.
The goalkeeping list included the names of Yassine Bono, Mounir Al-Mohammadi, Salah El-Din Shehab, and Ayoub Al-Khayati, and in defense, Ashraf Hakimi, Abdel-Kabir Abakar, Jamal Harkas, Nayef Akrad, Nasir Mazraoui, Adam Azno, Adam Massina, and Yahya Atiyat Allah were called.
In the midfield, Regragui will use players Ezzedine Ounahi, Ismail Sibari and Oussama Tergalin, along with Sofiane Amrabat, Bilal Al-Khanous, Amir Richardson and Elias Bensghair, while the list of attackers consists of Elias Akhomache, Sofiane Rahimi, Youssef En-Nesyri, Oussama Sahraoui, Abdel Samad Al-Zalzouli, Ayoub El Kaabi and Ibrahim Diaz.
The Moroccan national team will face its Gabonese counterpart on Friday, November 15, in the city of Franceville, and then it will meet the Lesotho national team on Monday, November 18, on the field of the Stade Cerra in Oujda.
It is worth noting that Moroccan voter Walid Regragui will hold, next Tuesday, a press conference at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, starting at six in the evening, followed by a training session open to the media.
