According to the Moroccan outlet Almountakhab, citing Ecuadorian media sources, the friendly match between the Moroccan national team and Ecuador during the upcoming international break will be played in Madrid.
The same sources indicate that the match is scheduled to take place between March 23 and 31, and will be hosted at the Metropolitano Stadium, the official home ground of Atlético Madrid.
This friendly encounter is part of the preparation program for both teams ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
For Morocco, the match offers a valuable test against a competitive South American opponent as the Atlas Lions continue to build momentum toward World Cup qualifiers and major international competitions. The choice of Madrid as the venue is also expected to draw strong support from Moroccan fans, given the city’s sizable Moroccan community.
An official confirmation from the Moroccan Football Federation is still awaited, but the fixture is already generating interest as a high-profile friendly in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup.
