Benin – Morocco: here is the Cheetahs' squad for this friendly match

On June 10, the Benin Cheetahs will take on the Atlas Lions of Morocco. This high-profile friendly pits them against one of the continent’s top national teams. For the occasion, head coach Gernot Rohr has unveiled an extended 30-man squad list, featuring some exciting surprises.

First up, the regulars are present: Saturnin Allagbé, Olivier Verdon, Sessi D’Almeida, Jodel Dossou, and Steve Mounié. These players form the backbone of the team, the core that the Franco-German tactician has relied on since his arrival.

Then come the new faces. Some lesser-known names join the squad, such as Moussa Mayé Yarou, Gabriel Mouléro, Rachidou Razack, Rodolfo Aloko, and Ramdane Karim. It’s a golden opportunity for these young talents to make their mark—and perhaps shake up the pecking order. The final squad will be announced after the training camp.
