Call-Up of Rabi Hrimat Reflects a New Technical Direction for the Moroccan National Team
In a clear move towards emphasizing technical and mental readiness, national coach Mohamed Wahbi announced the call-up of Rabi Hrimat to the Moroccan national team during a press conference held at the Mohammed VI Football Complex on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
Wahbi explained that Hrimat’s selection comes as a result of his outstanding performance in recent times, noting that he fits the type of profiles the coach is seeking within the squad. He highlighted the player’s remarkable ability to perform under pressure, which is essential in modern football, especially in matches requiring high concentration and quick decision-making.
The national coach affirmed that selection criteria for the team are not based solely on names but depend on various technical and mental attributes that can contribute positively on the pitch. He emphasized that the ability to adapt to the pace of international matches remains a priority in determining the final squad.
This call-up comes as part of the Moroccan team’s preparations for two friendly matches, where they will face Ecuador on March 27, 2026, in Madrid, before taking on Paraguay on March 31 in Lanse.
These encounters fall under a preparatory program aimed at assessing the readiness of national players and providing opportunities to test new names capable of adding value ahead of upcoming significant competitions.
This selection is expected to be a real opportunity for Hrimat to prove his capabilities on the international stage and translate his local performance into a significant presence within the national lineup.
