Frustration After Morocco's Quarter-Final Loss
In the wake of Morocco's disappointing exit from the 2026 World Cup following a 2-0 defeat to France in the quarter-finals, midfielder Sofyan Amrabat's brother, Mohamed Amrabat, has shared insights into the emotional state of the Moroccan player. The elimination has left a significant impact on the team, who had high hopes of advancing further in the tournament. Mohamed Amrabat expressed that the situation has been particularly difficult for Sofyan, revealing his anger and frustration. "This elimination is very regrettable. We could have gone much further. When Sofyan loses, he is angry, so it's better to leave him alone for a while," he stated in an interview on Dutch radio station FunX FM.
Concerns Over Coach Mohamed Ouahbi's Leadership
Mohamed further indicated that Sofyan feels discontent with his role under head coach Mohamed Ouahbi, suggesting a sense of disappointment with the coach's decisions. He noted, "I think he is very disappointed and he has had enough of this coach. But nevertheless, we did beat the Netherlands." During this World Cup, Sofyan Amrabat's position was notably different compared to his prominent role in the previous World Cup held in Qatar. Coach Ouahbi opted for a midfield duo of Ayoub Bouaddi and Neil El Aynaoui, relegating the 29-year-old to a secondary role throughout the competition. This shift in strategy has been a source of contention and frustration for Sofyan, as the team grapples with the aftermath of their recent performance.
