World Cup 2026: Morocco and Haiti confirmed lineups 

Morocco have made sweeping changes to their starting XI, switching to an attack-minded 4-2-3-1 setup for their final Group C fixture against Haiti at the Atlanta Stadium.

Head coach Mohamed Ouahbi has reshaped his side with four alterations, signalling an aggressive approach as the Atlas Lions chase a strong finish to the group stage.

Teenage midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi has been rested after a demanding run of games, while Azzedine Ounahi drops out to accommodate an additional forward in Ayoub El Kaabi. The adjustment reflects Morocco’s intent to push for goals, with their qualification scenario potentially hinging on goal difference against Brazil’s result versus Scotland.

At the back, Issa Diop is replaced by Redouane Halhal after a difficult outing in the narrow win over Scotland, while Noussair Mazraoui makes way for Anass Salah-Eddine at left-back. Captain Achraf Hakimi and goalkeeper Yassine Bounou remain central to the defensive structure, with Sofyan Amrabat anchoring midfield.

Ahead of them, a fluid attacking line featuring Brahim Díaz, Ismael Saibari, and Bilal El Khannouss is expected to support El Kaabi in a high-tempo offensive push designed to overwhelm Haiti’s defence.

Haiti aim for pride in historic final outing

For Haiti, the picture is very different. Already eliminated after defeats to Scotland and Brazil, the Caribbean side arrive in Atlanta with pride as their primary motivation rather than progression hopes.

Head coach Sébastien Migné has made adjustments to his 4-4-2 system, restoring striker Wilson Isidor alongside Lenny Joseph in attack. The focus now is on securing their first-ever World Cup point and avoiding finishing the tournament without a goal.

Captain Ricardo Adé will marshal a defensive line that also includes Jean-Kévin Duverne, Hannes Delcroix, and Martin Expérience, with goalkeeper Johny Placide expected to be heavily involved.

In midfield, Josué Casimir, Danley Jean Jacques, Ruben Providence, and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde face a demanding task against Morocco’s technical and tactical intensity.

With no pressure on qualification, Haiti are expected to play with freedom and aggression, hoping to disrupt Morocco’s rhythm and end their campaign on a historic high.
