Overview
- Hosts Morocco confirmed a 26-man roster for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Achraf Hakimi selected despite a recent ankle sprain.
- Hakimi hurt his left ankle in Paris Saint‑Germain’s Champions League loss to Bayern Munich last month, and the coach says he has been working to return for the first match.
- Regragui has signaled Hakimi could captain Morocco against Comoros in the tournament curtain-raiser in Rabat.
- Hakim Ziyech is a notable omission from the final list, as reported following the squad announcement.
- Lille forward Hamza Igamane was left out of the 26 but placed on standby after an adductor injury, while established figures such as Yassine Bounou, Noussair Mazraoui, Sofyan Amrabat and Youssef En‑Nesyri were included; Morocco will face Comoros, Mali and Zambia in Group A.
