The Morocco national football team is set to face a tough challenge against their Scottish counterparts in the third group stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Arab team drew with Brazil in the first round without a goal, in a match where Ayoub Bouadi was the star. Yassine Bounou and Nasser Mazraoui participated in training normally after suffering injuries in the previous round's match against Brazil. The North African team is expected to continue playing in a 4-3-3 formation, with Azeddine Ounahi in the playmaker position. Morocco's coach, Mohamed Wahbi, has not yet decided who will occupy the left wing position, with Bilal Khnouss and Ayoub El Maamouni competing strongly for a starting spot. The expected lineup for Morocco against Scotland includes Yassine Bounou in goal, Achraf Hakimi, Nasser Mazraoui, Chadi Riad, and Issa Diop in defense, Azeddine Ounahi, Ayoub Bouadi, and Nael Ainaoui in midfield, and Ibrahim Diaz, Ismail Saibari, and Bilal Khnouss or Ayoub El Maamouni in attack. The team is looking for their first Arab win in the tournament after drawing with Brazil. Morocco's players are in good physical condition, which will allow them to participate in the important match against Scotland.
