According to the Moroccan sports website Sport7, the players left out of the preliminary squad are Ayoub El Kaabi, Sofyan Amrabat, Amine Sebai, Youssef Belammari, Marouane Saâdane, and goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi.
The report added that more players could also be omitted, including Halhal and Amimouni.
The report further stated that Ouahbi intends to call up several new faces for the national team's training camp scheduled for the end of September, with the aim of evaluating fresh talent and expanding his tactical options.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has decided to retain Mohamed Ouahbi as head coach despite Morocco's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the quarter-finals, where the Atlas Lions lost 2–0 to France.
