Morocco player Ali Maamar leaves World Cup preparation camp
Ali Maamar has left the Moroccan national team’s gathering in the United States. The young right-back from Anderlecht was present with the Atlas Lions during the preparation phase, but he was not part of the final squad selected by Mohamed Ouahbi for the 2026 World Cup.
According to Al3omk, the Moroccan player ended his presence in the training camp in recent hours. His departure comes after those of Abdessamad Ezzalzouli and Nayef Aguerd, due to injuries.

Ali Maamar’s presence in the group was explained by the particular context of Morocco’s preparation. Several players were affected by injuries, while the visa issue of Zakaria El Ouahdi delayed his arrival with the squad in the United States. The technical staff therefore included the young defender in this preparation phase.
Ali Maamar, who plays for Anderlecht, is among the young players closely monitored by the national coaching staff. World champion with Morocco in the under-20 category, he had joined the first team’s training sessions at the Mohammed VI football complex before the friendly match against Madagascar, played on June 2, 2026.

His departure therefore does not constitute a last-minute exclusion, but rather the end of his presence in the preparation group. At 21 years old, Ali Maamar remains one of the young Moroccan profiles set to be monitored in the coming years, in a logic of transition between youth selections and the senior team.
