Honorable Mention
Mustafa Kamel Mansou, Tahar El-Khalej, Ahmed Hassan, Ibrahim Hassan, Youssef Chippo, Salahedinne Bassir and Marouane Chamakh.
Squad Explanation
- Larbi Benbarek was never capped by Morocco, but was capped by France. So he belonged to France in terms of international football just liked Just Fontaine. Salem Ben Miloud, on the other hand, was never capped by France so he was eligible for Morocco. Abderrahman Mahjoub played for Morocco. So he became eligible.
- I did not have spaces for Tahar El-Khalej, Ahmed Hassan, Ibrahim Hassan, Youssef Chippo, Salahedinne Bassir and Marouane Chamakh. Mehdi Benatia is still too young.
- I also looked into Egypt's recent successes with the African Cups of Nations. I selected Essam El-Hadary, instead of Mustafa Kamel Mansou. I gambled with Wael Gomaa, who was not as famous as other candidates outside of Africa.
Starting lineup
Formation: 4-2-1-3
- Tarak Dhiab was probably the greatest playmaker in North African history. He would run the plays behind the three attackers.
- Hossam Hassan started ahead of two old-timers, Hassan El-Shazly and Saleh Selim.
- Essam El-Hadary probably should be the starter.
