Walid Regragui to announce Morocco squad for AFCON qualifiers against Central African Republic

Morocco’s national team coach, Walid Regragui, will hold a press conference this Thursday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex to reveal the squad for the upcoming double-header against the Central African Republic in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. Scheduled for 11 a.m., the event will see Regragui unveil the players selected for the crucial matches on the 3rd and 4th matchdays of the qualification campaign.

The Atlas Lions are set to face the Central African Republic on Saturday, October 12, and Tuesday, October 15, with both games taking place at the Stade d’Honneur in Oujda. Kick-off for both fixtures is set for 8 p.m.

Morocco currently leads Group B with six points, having secured two important victories in their previous qualifiers — a commanding 4-1 win over Gabon and a narrow 1-0 victory against Lesotho.

The Central African Republic, meanwhile, sits in second place, tied with Gabon on three points, making this double confrontation vital for both teams.

With Morocco’s strong start to the campaign, Regragui will be looking to build on the momentum and ensure his side takes maximum points from these two fixtures to maintain their position at the top of the group.

The coach’s selection for these matches will be closely watched as the team prepares for the challenge posed by the Central African Republic, who will be eager to cause an upset.

As Regragui prepares to announce the squad, all eyes will be on the key players who have helped Morocco achieve success so far.

Fans will also be keen to see whether there are any surprises or new inclusions as the coach balances experience with fresh talent ahead of these crucial encounters.

The Atlas Lions are among the favorites to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, and the upcoming matches will provide a clearer picture of their road to the tournament.

For now, Morocco’s focus will be on securing two victories and cementing their place at the top of the group as they move closer to securing qualification.
