Four more PSV players to the World Cup
1 min readThe necessary PSV players can prepare for the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States with their country. Morocco is also one of the participating countries in the global final tournament.
National coach Mohamed Ouahbi has made room for PSV players Ismael Saibari and Anass Salah-Eddine in his squad. Both had a good season at PSV, and this is now therefore being rewarded with a place in the World Cup squad.
The two PSV players were already in the preliminary selection for the training camp from 22 to 26 May and are therefore now also part of the final squad. At the World Cup, Morocco will face Brazil, Haiti and Scotland in Group C during the group stage.
The national team of co-host USA has also announced its squad for the 2026 World Cup. Ricardo Pepi and Sergino Dest were selected by head coach Mauricio Pochettino for the final tournament that the United States is hosting together with neighboring countries Canada and Mexico.
For Dest, it will be his second World Cup after the right-back reached the second round with Team USA in 2022 and was eliminated by the Netherlands (3-1), while for Ricardo Pepi the 2026 World Cup will be his debut at the global finals. Former PSV player Malik Tillman has also been selected by head coach Pochettino.
In addition, well-known names such as Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic are also in the mix on behalf of Team USA. The United States, as co-host, will play in Group D against Paraguay, Australia and Turkey.

Marokko in Poule C tegen Brazilië en Schotland is geen makkie. Als Saibari daar zijn acties durft te nemen, dan wordt het spannend, want die wedstrijden vragen om tempo en lef 👀.
Saibari en Salah-Eddine in de WK-selectie is echt verdiend, they both deserved the reward for that PSV season. Benieuwd of Ouahbi ze meteen vertrouwen geeft, want Poule C is niet makkelijk met Brazilië en Schotland. ❤️⚽
Ismael Saibari verdient dit echt, die energy op het midden is zo belangrijk. Benieuwd of Ouahbi hem als nummer 8 durft te gebruiken of meer als aanspeelpunt. ❤️
Saibari en Salah-Eddine bij Marokko, dat is echt top nieuws. Hopelijk krijgen ze daar ook minuten want bij PSV lieten ze dingen zien. 🚀🐐
Dest tweede WK en dan tegelijk zien dat Malik Tillman ook geselecteerd is... nice, maar voor PSV hoop ik wel dat onze spelers minuten maken en fit blijven. Anders heb je straks weer gedoe met opbouw.
Poule C is brutal for Morocco. Brazil is obviously a mountain, but Schotland might be the one to watch. If Saibari starts, thats a big statement.
Saibari en Salah-Eddine naar het WK, dat is echt verdiend 🔥. Was voor ons al duidelijk dat ze niet alleen leuk zijn in de Eredivisie, maar ook kunnen knallen op dat niveau.
Nice reward for Saibari and Salah-Eddine, they really earned that. I just hope Ouahbi gives them minutes so they come back sharper for PSV.
