An exciting clash in Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers will take place on March 21, 2025, when the Niger national team hosts Morocco. The match will take place at the Stade d'Honneur d'Oujda in Oujda, Morocco, as Niger does not have a FIFA-approved stadium.
Team performance
Niger: They started the qualifiers with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tanzania, before beating Zambia 2-1. They then picked up the three points after Congo failed to show up for the match. They are currently second in the group with six points. They have failed to win in their last four matches, drawing three and losing once.
Morocco: The team is in excellent form, having gone undefeated in their last ten matches, winning eight of them. They won all three of their matches in the qualifiers, scoring ten goals and conceding only one, leading the group with nine points. In their last match, they defeated Lesotho 7-0.
Important missing items
Niger: There are no significant absentees in the team and coach Badou Ezaki has named a 25-man squad for the match. The squad includes 19-year-old forward Zakariyaou Ibrahim, who has scored eight goals in Cameroon's Elite One league this season, and defender Aboubacar Camara, who plays in Albania.
Morocco: The team is also missing two key players due to injury: Hakim Ziyech and Ayoub El Kaabi. The national team captain, Walid Regragui, has therefore called up new players to the squad, such as Bilal Nadir, Chemsedine Taibi, Hamza Igamane and Omar El Hilali, who could get their first chance with the national team.
Tactical analysis
Niger: They are expected to use a 4-3-3 formation, with Boubacar Goumey and Adebayor Nafiou playing up front alongside Zakariyaou Ibrahim. Karim Lancina can control the game in midfield, while Youssouf Oumarou and Aboubacar Camara can provide stability in the defensive axis.
Morocco: They could play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Tarik Tissoudali as the striker. In the attacking midfield, Bilal Nadir, Azzedine Ounahi and Brahim Díaz could form the creative trio. In defence, Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui could be on the wings, while the central defenders could be Nayef Aguerd and Romain Saïss.
Weather conditions
The weather in Oujda is expected to be pleasant during the match, with temperatures around 17°C and light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, making the weather ideal for football.

- Both teams to score (GG: no): Niger's offensive game is not very effective, while Morocco's defense is solid, so it is likely that Niger will not score.
