Rabat – Morocco’s women’s national team has begun its October preparation camp with 31 players called up for two friendly matches against Uzbekistan on October 9 and 12.
The first match is scheduled for Friday at 8 p.m. at Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat, while the second will take place on Monday at 6 p.m. at Al Madina Stadium.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has also scheduled an open training session for the media on Thursday. Journalists will be able to attend the first 15 minutes of the session, beginning at 6 p.m. at Moulay El Hassan Stadium.
The squad brings together players based in Morocco and abroad, with several familiar names returning for the international window.
Ghizlane Chebbak, Ibtissam Jraidi, Nouhaila Benzina, Elodie Nakkach, Yasmin Mrabet, Sakina Ouzraoui and Khadija Errmichi are among the established internationals included.
The list also features players currently based across Europe, including Zineb Redouani at Badalona, Hajar Said at Paris FC, Melek Hader at Utrecht, Yasmin Zouhir at Real Madrid and Kaoutar Azraf at Barcelona.
The camp is being overseen by new head coach Eric Blahic, who is working with the group during his first international window in charge.
The two matches against Uzbekistan will serve as an opportunity for the coaching staff to assess the squad across consecutive games while continuing preparations for Morocco’s next competitive commitments.
Morocco will first face Uzbekistan on Friday before the two sides meet again three days later in Rabat.
