Morocco Reveal Squad List For Central African Republic Qualifier

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has published Dominique Cuperly’s roster for the Atlas Lions’ upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifier versus the Central African Republic which will be played on September 4.

The Frenchman who is currently filling in for Eric Gerets has given Fettah Boukhris and Youssef El Arabi their first call-ups. Besides that, the squad is practically identical to the one that was assembled for Morocco’s 2-1 win over Equatorial Guinea on August 11.

“We’re going to have to be vigilant. We also have to show something and to do that we have to pull the best we can out of the group that’s at our disposal,” said Cuperly while speaking to Le Matin regarding the qualifier.

Below is the squad list by position:

Goalkeepers: Karim Fegrouch (Wydad Casablanca), Nader Lamyaghri (Wydad Casablanca), Ahmed Mouhamadina (Olympique Khouribga)

Defenders: Mehdi Benatia (Udinese), Adil Karrouchy (Difaa El Jadida), Fettah Boukhris (FUS Rabat), Morad Ainy (Raja Casablanca), Rachid Soulaimani (Raja Casablanca), Michael Chrétian Basser (AS Nancy), Chakib Benzoukane (Sofia), Hicham Mahdoufi (Raja Casablanca)

Midfielders: Adil Hermach (RC Lens), Mohamed Berabeh (Al Dhafra), Issam Erraki (Al Wahda), M'bark Boussoufa (Anderlecht), Karim Al Ahmadi (Feynoord Rotterdam), Nabil El Zhar (Liverpool)
