In recent years, Morocco has managed to convince several dual-national players in Spain to join the Atlas Lions. Ilias Akhomach is the latest recruit for the Moroccan team. For its part, Spain was able to snatch Lamine Yamal. Meanwhile, Brahim Diaz is still hesitating to choose his sporting nationality.
The coach of the Spanish team, Luis de la Fuente, spoke about the case of Brahim Diaz , a player he did not call up for the matches against Cyprus and Georgia, and who is also highly coveted by Morocco.
The young player Ilias Akhomach , trained at La Masia and currently a Villarreal player, has decided to represent Morocco at the international level, thus renouncing the possibility of playing for Spain.
After Lamine Yamal and Brahim Díaz, another dual national player is fueling the debate over the choice of his sporting nationality. Ilias Akhomach , a Spanish international with the youth categories, is also on the radar of the Moroccan Federation.
FC Barcelona player, Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana , only 16 years old, could wear the Spanish national team jersey in the upcoming international matches. Morocco would therefore lose a gem.
With no real possibility of joining the senior French team led by Didier Deschamps, the Franco-Senegalese-Moroccan offensive midfielder Sofiane Diop , who plays for OGC Nice, would have chosen his sports nationality.
To date, the Hispano-Moroccan-Equatorial Guinean Lamine Yamal , the youngest player in FC Barcelona’s history, has not yet chosen his sporting nationality. For now, he is dazzling Spanish supporters with his excellent performances on the field.
The Real Sociedad striker, Mohamed Ali-Cho , seems to be leaning towards Morocco. The 19-year-old footballer, of Ivorian and Moroccan origin, but with French and English nationalities, would indeed have had advanced discussions with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
The rumor is circulating: Eliesse Ben Seghir , the 18-year-old attacking midfielder of AS Monaco, could abandon the colors of the French team to wear the jersey of the Atlas Lions.
Lamine Yamal , the youngest player in FC Barcelona’s history, would have chosen to turn his back on Spain to play for Morocco, which has always shown interest in him.
