Morocco will be counting on not one, but two Real Madrid stars as they gear up for friendlies during the March international break
The Moroccan Football Federation has recently revealed the latest national team squad, featuring some exciting new faces set to make their debut appearances for the country.
Among these newcomers are two promising talents from LaLiga giants Real Madrid, indicating a new chapter for Moroccan football on the international stage.
Brahim Díaz: A Key Addition
Front and centre in the Morocco squad is Brahim Diaz, a midfielder who recently announced his decision to switch international allegiances from Spain to Morocco.
Eligible through his paternal grandmother, Brahim's inclusion in the national team setup highlights the country's efforts to bolster its roster with talented players from diverse backgrounds.
Youssef Lekhedim: Rising Star
Joining Brahim in the Moroccan squad is Youssef Lekhedim, also known as Yusi, a highly-regarded 18-year-old defender from Real Madrid's ranks. Operating primarily as a left-back, Yusi has caught the attention of national team selectors with his impressive performances for Real Madrid's U19s.
His inclusion in the Atlas Lions' squad underscores the nation's commitment to nurturing young talent and providing opportunities for promising players to shine on the international stage.
Excitement for Future Friendlies
Morocco's upcoming friendlies against Angola and Mauritania present an ideal opportunity for Brahim Díaz and Youssef Lekhedim to showcase their skills and make a positive impact in their debut appearances for the national team.
With the support of experienced teammates and the guidance of head coach Walid Regragui, the Real Madrid duo is poised to make a significant contribution to Morocco's footballing ambitions. As the nation prepares to face its opponents, there is anticipation and optimism surrounding the potential of these new additions to the squad.
