Morocco AFCON qualifying campaign

Overview

Morocco maintained a perfect record in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign following a 2-0 away victory against Lesotho. This win, which follows a 2-0 victory against Gabon, keeps the team at the top of Group A with six points.

In the match against Lesotho, Brahim Diaz opened the scoring in the 45th minute, and Azzedine Ounahi secured the win with a goal in the 82nd minute. Ounahi’s performance was statistically significant, recording 91 successful passes and three key passes.

However, the squad faces growing injury concerns. Following the earlier injury to defender Nayef Aguerd, who remains in Morocco for rehabilitation, midfielder Azzedine Ounahi was stretchered off the pitch during a Panathinaikos club match in Greece. His availability for upcoming qualifiers against Niger on November 13 and November 17, 2026, remains uncertain pending medical examinations.
