Zakaria El Ouahdi Misses Morocco Flight Over Visa Issue

Zakaria El Ouahdi missed the Morocco national team's flight to the United States on Wednesday due to visa problems.

The Moroccan Football Federation confirmed that his World Cup participation remains unaffected.

El Ouahdi is a wing‑back who currently appears on the roster of PSV Eindhoven.

The visa complication sparked consternation among officials as the squad prepared to depart.

The Morocco squad left for the World Cup without El Ouahdi aboard the aircraft.

His absence will be remedied once the paperwork issue is resolved.

Officials expect El Ouahdi to join the team in the United States before the tournament's opening match.

The Moroccan camp will continue training in his absence.
