Morocco has named its starting eleven for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C clash against Scotland, set for June 19, 2026, at Gillette Stadium in Boston. The Atlas Lions, fresh off a 1-1 draw with Brazil in their tournament opener, are rolling out a lineup that blends established stars with some of the most exciting young talent in world football.
Scotland, meanwhile, enter this match riding the confidence of a 1-0 victory over Haiti.
The starting eleven
Morocco is projected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Yassine Bounou, the Al-Hilal goalkeeper who was instrumental in Morocco’s fairy-tale run at the 2022 World Cup, starts between the posts. Behind him sits a back four of captain Achraf Hakimi of PSG at right-back, Noussair Mazraoui of Manchester United on the opposite flank, and Issa Diop and Chadi Riad in the center.
