The Lions of the Atlas succeeded in their first warm-up test for the World Cup. Long held in check, they finally swept aside Burundi (5-0) Tuesday afternoon in Salé, driven by an explosive second half.

As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Mohamed Ouahbi gathers a first wave of Atlas Lions. Deprived of many key players retained by their clubs, the Moroccan coach will evaluate several new profiles before finalizing his definitive squad.

The 24-year-old Moroccan striker is experiencing a true resurrection. After a difficult stint at Standard de Liège and RWDM, Soufiane Benjdida is now dominating the Moroccan championship with MAS Fès, to the point of knocking on the door of the Atlas Lions for the 2026 World Cup.

Under fire from criticism for a few weeks, Soufiane Benjdida, the Moroccan striker of Standard, delivered an XXL performance on Friday against Dender (2-0), scoring a goal, on a penalty, and providing an assist.
