Morocco Vs Burundi Ends 0-0 Before World Cup Squad Call

Morocco vs Burundi was played Tuesday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé, with kickoff at 12:00 p.m. Morocco time. The friendly came as Morocco used one of its last match windows before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and Mohamed Ouahbi was set to make a final squad evaluation after the game.

The match gave Ouahbi one more look at his group before the World Cup squad was set to be addressed at a press conference at the same venue on Tuesday. Morocco entered the day with Group C already on the board for the tournament, alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti.

Since taking charge in March, Ouahbi has had a short but useful run to assess the team. Morocco drew 1–1 with Ecuador and beat Paraguay 2–1, results that added some shape to the evaluation before Burundi.

The Burundi fixture also sat inside a larger preparation program that included friendlies against Burundi, Madagascar and Norway before the tournament. That schedule left little room for guesswork, which is why this last test at the Mohammed VI Football Complex carried so much weight for the head coach.

For fans, the practical details were straightforward: the game started at 12:00 p.m. Morocco time and was available on Arryadia. The bigger consequence sat with the squad list itself, since Tuesday’s match was the final chance to sharpen the decisions before Morocco moved on to the World Cup selection.

What happened at Salé mattered because the next step was not another tune-up, but the squad announcement path that followed. Morocco had one final friendly, one final look, and one final call to make before turning fully toward Brazil, Scotland and Haiti in Group C.
