Ayyoub Bouaddi Reports for Morocco Duty after Post-Season Break in Spain

The countdown is getting shorter for Morocco, and another important piece of the puzzle is now arriving.

Ayyoub Bouaddi is expected to join the Atlas Lions camp today after spending a few days in Spain following a long season with Lille. The young midfielder took a short break to recover before reporting for international duty as preparations continue ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Reports from Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna indicate Bouaddi was given time to recharge before returning to action.

His arrival comes at a key moment for Morocco’s coaching staff.

The national team camp at the Mohammed VI Football Complex is already underway, and players are starting the final preparation period before the announcement of the official World Cup squad next week.

The gathering is both a training camp and a final assessment stage as Morocco’s staff takes one last close look at players before making final decisions.

This is Bouaddi’s first senior team call-up. The Lille talent has been one of the most talked-about young Moroccan players this season. After breaking through in France and continuing his rapid development, excitement around him has steadily grown. His technical quality and maturity have made him one of the emerging names many fans hope to see become part of Morocco’s next generation.

Once he arrives, Bouaddi is expected to immediately begin his preparation work with the rest of the squad. The coaching staff is continuing to evaluate younger players who impressed at club level, especially with competition for places becoming increasingly intense ahead of the final squad announcement.

Only a few days remain before Morocco reveals its final World Cup selections, meaning every training session, every physical assessment and every opportunity counts.
