Morocco vs Burundi Match Details

This fixture is part of Morocco’s internal training camp, which runs from 22–26 May. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi is using the match to assess fitness levels and test combinations ahead of the official squad announcement for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Morocco vs Burundi Predicted Lineups

[LINEUP UPDATE BLOCK — Update 1 Hour Before Kickoff]

Confirmed lineups will be added here approximately one hour before kickoff.

Morocco (Predicted): Coach Mohamed Ouahbi is expected to use a 4-2-3-1 shape, though heavy rotation is anticipated given this is a closed-doors fitness run rather than a competitive fixture. The 28-man training camp squad includes veteran goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi and promising youth stoppers Yanis Benchaouch and Ibrahim Gomis competing for game time. In midfield, Ayyoub Bouaddi — who recently confirmed his allegiance to Morocco — could feature alongside Imran Louza. Sofiane Boufal and Othmane Maamma are the attacking names most likely to be involved, with Tawfik Bentayeb, Ligue 2’s top scorer this season, also pushing for minutes.

Burundi (Predicted): The Swallows typically line up in a 4-4-2 shape and are expected to field a recognisable side here. Midfielders Gael Bigirimana and Jordi Liongola provide experience in the centre, while forwards Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana and Abedi Bigirimana lead the attack. The starting XI for Burundi has not yet been confirmed. Check back closer to kickoff.

Morocco Pre-Match Form

Morocco arrive at this training camp in strong condition. Their last five results make encouraging reading for Ouahbi as he finalises his World Cup plans.

Won vs Paraguay 2-1 — 31 March 2026. Drew vs Ecuador 1-1 — 27 March 2026. Won vs Senegal 3-0 (AFCON Final, awarded) — 18 January 2026. Drew vs Nigeria 0-0 — 14 January 2026. Won vs Cameroon 2-0 — 9 January 2026.

Four wins from five, with three clean sheets in competitive AFCON action, underlines Morocco’s defensive solidity. The draw with Ecuador in Madrid showed Ouahbi’s squad can match strong South American opposition. The Atlas Lions head into the World Cup carrying genuine belief.

Burundi Pre-Match Form

Burundi had a difficult end to their World Cup qualifying campaign, failing to reach the 2026 tournament from CAF Group F. Their last five competitive results tell a story of struggle, before a recent bounce in AFCON qualifying.

The 4-0 win over Chad is a boost for the Swallows and will give the squad confidence heading into Salé. That said, four consecutive scoreless defeats before that result reflect real attacking difficulties. Burundi face a step up in class against an Atlas Lions side preparing for Brazil.

Full form data for Burundi beyond the above was not available at time of writing.

Morocco vs Burundi Head-to-Head

Here is how Morocco and Burundi have faced each other in the past.

Morocco lead the head-to-head record with a 1W–0D–0L record against the Swallows, having handed Burundi a heavy defeat in their only previous senior meeting. If that result is any guide, the Atlas Lions will be heavy favourites to win here too.

Morocco vs Burundi Match Preview

Morocco enter this fixture with the World Cup firmly in mind. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi is using the Burundi friendly as the final assessment before cutting his preliminary 28-man camp down to the official tournament squad, which must be submitted by 2 June. The match is played behind closed doors at the Mohammed VI Football Academy — the Atlas Lions’ home training base — giving Ouahbi full control over minutes, rotations, and tactical experiments without public pressure.

For Burundi, this is a chance to face top-level opposition ahead of their AFCON 2027 qualifying campaign. The Swallows showed real firepower against Chad but face an entirely different challenge against a pre-World Cup friendly side testing World Cup-level combinations. Morocco are expected to control the game, with Ouahbi likely to play two different XIs across the two halves. Watch for Bouaddi and Maamma to use this game as a final audition for a place on the plane to North America.
