The Moroccan national team has announced the withdrawals of defender Nayef Aguerd and forward Ez Abde from their World Cup squad due to force majeure. The announcement was made on June 10, 2026, following FIFA regulations, necessitating prompt adjustments to the roster before the tournament begins. To replace the absent players, head coach has called up Marwane Saadane, who will wear Aguerd’s number 5 shirt, and Amine Sbaï, who takes the number 17 shirt previously held by Abde.
