Walid Regragui in search of the perfect combination

The coach of the Moroccan football team, Walid Regragui, is tackling the delicate task of putting together his defense in anticipation of the next qualifying matches for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2026 World Cup. Aware of the challenges that await the Atlas Lions, Regragui pays particular attention to this sector of play, considered an Achilles heel.

If the Nayef Aguerd-Jamal Harkass pair was satisfactory during the meetings against Gabon and Lesotho, the level of the opponents should go up a notch during the next matches. Faced with more impactful attacks, strengthening the Moroccan defense appears to be a necessity if they hope to shine during CAN 2025, which will take place at home.
