Defenders Nayef Aguerd and winger Abdelsamad Ezzalzouli will miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup for Morocco, hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Their exclusion from the official squad list submitted to FIFA has been confirmed. Amin Sebbaoui and Marwan Saadan have been named as replacements for the absent players. The news raises questions about the impact of these absences on Morocco’s performance in the tournament. Aguerd is a key figure in the national team’s defense, while Ezzalzouli provides attacking options. This development forces coach Walid Regragui to adjust his plans and rely on alternative players. The Moroccan team will aim to navigate these changes as they prepare for the expanded 48-team World Cup.
