Morocco Unveils a New Era: Wahbi Leads First Training as World Cup Prep Kicks Off
23 March 2026
Morocco's First Training Under New Coach Wahbi
The Moroccan national team opened its World Cup preparations with a first training session on Monday evening, led by their new coach, Mohamed Wahbi.
The session at the Mohammed VI Football Complex lasted about ninety minutes and stressed fitness recovery, with some ball work and light tactical drills in a serious, disciplined setting.
Wahbi’s methods began making an impression as players worked to adapt, signaling a deliberate shift in style and expectations.
There’s chatter about bold selections and a potential pre‑World Cup revolution, signaling Morocco’s readiness to shake up conventional plans.
Morocco now prepares for two friendlies: Ecuador on March 27, 2026 in Madrid at the Metropolitano, and Paraguay on March 31, 2026 in Lens.
These games are part of their build‑up for the 2026 World Cup, staged across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Also noted elsewhere: bold tactical shifts are on the agenda, and the clock is ticking to get everything perfectly in sync.
Punchline: If Wahbi’s tactics were a dish, it would be tactical risotto—patient, precise, and somehow everyone wants seconds.
Punchline 2: The only thing faster than a tactical switch might be a post‑training press conference mic—watch out for the questions!
