It was an eye-opening start for Morocco after they held their own vs. Brazil in the team’s first game of the 2026 World Cup, drawing 1-1.
Morocco also became the first African team to make the semifinals in a World Cup, losing 2-0 to France in 2022. They’ve emerged as one of Africa’s top teams and have a real shot at making some noise yet again during this year’s World Cup.
That said, here’s a full list of Morocco’s squad and the clubs represented by each of the 26 players competing in the World Cup.

Morocco’s 18-Year-Old Ayyoub Bouaddi Turned Heads in Stunning Debut World Cup Performance
18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi will certainly garner interest from the top clubs around the world after his stunning performance in his World Cup debut match against Brazil.
Bouaddi kept Brazilian midfielder Casemiro in check to the point that Casemiro was eventually subbed out at half-time.
He had complete control of the midfield, finishing the game with 87 touches and completing 91 percent of his passes. ESPN’s Ed Dove put it best: “Morocco already knew that a special talent is arriving in their squad, but in their World Cup opener, the rest of the planet saw it too.”
