Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Morocco vs Gabon opens Group A of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with both teams beginning a six-match campaign alongside Niger and Lesotho.
The top two teams in the group will qualify for the 24-team AFCON finals in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, making every point important from the opening matchday. Morocco will host Gabon at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat before traveling to face Lesotho four days later.

The match also begins a new era for Morocco under Mohamed Ouahbi. The coach has selected a 29-player squad for his first AFCON qualifying campaign, mixing established players such as Yassine Bounou, Noussair Mazraoui, Nayef Aguerd and Brahim Diaz with three uncapped youngsters: Abdellah Ouazane, Soufian El Faouzi and Yassir Zabiri. Achraf Hakimi is suspended for the opening two qualifiers.
Gabon are also starting a new chapter, with Sebastien Migne taking charge of the Panthers. He has named a 24-player squad featuring experienced figures such as Denis Bouanga and Guelor Kanga, but Mario Lemina is unavailable because of injury.
The biggest change comes in attack, where Gabon will be without longtime captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who retired from international soccer after the 2025 AFCON. Migne has described the trip to Rabat as a major challenge as he looks to rebuild the team and compete for qualification.
