A happy ending for Zakaria El Ouahdi. The Moroccan international was granted a visa to enter the United States on Thursday, ending uncertainty over his participation in the 2026 World Cup with the Atlas Lions, who have already arrived in the country.
The KRC Genk defender is now expected to join his teammates after efforts led by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) helped resolve the issue, according to Hesport.
With his administrative situation now settled, El Ouahdi will be able to travel from Morocco, where he had remained while awaiting a decision on his visa application. He is set to link up with the national team at its base camp in New Jersey. Before the tournament gets underway, Morocco will play one final warm-up match against Norway on Sunday.
The Atlas Lions have been drawn in Group C of the 2026 World Cup alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti.
