Morocco coach Walid Regragui has announced his squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™.

The biggest call from Regragui, who took over from deposed predecessor Vahid Halilhodzic on 31 August, has been to select striker Abderrazak Hamdallah, who hasn't featured for the national team since 2019.

Less surprising are the inclusion of star players such as goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, defender Achraf Hakimi and forward Hakim Ziyech.
