The press conference scheduled for Tuesday by the national coach, Walid Regragui, has been officially postponed to Thursday, according to the announcement of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). In a statement posted on its official website on Monday, the FRMF informed that “ the press conference originally scheduled for Tuesday August 29, 2023 at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, hosted by Walid Regragui, the coach of the National ‘A’ Team, has been postponed to Thursday August 31, 2023“.

Scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m., this conference could hold surprises as to the new faces likely to make their debut in the national team. Among them stands out the name of Lamine Yamal, who would have been spotted for the first time in the national team and who would have had a meeting with Regragui, as evidenced by their joint presence in a restaurant in Barcelona last Friday.
Yamal, who plays as a winger for La Liga club Barcelona, has been the center of attention in the past few weeks as both Spain and Morocco are vying for the opportunity to see him don their national jersey.
There is a growing anticipation among Moroccans that the 16-year-old will choose to represent Morocco.
