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.
