The Morocco coach, Hoalid Regragui, included Real Madrid attacker Brahim Díaz on his squad list for the friendly matches against Angola and Mauritania, scheduled for March 22 and 26, respectively.
In this way, the decision taken days ago by the player from Malaga to choose to be part of the Moroccan national team instead of the Spanish team with which he also had options to play becomes official.
Last Sunday, Brahim’s choice to be part of the African team was made public. Brahim, who was on Luis de la Fuente’s pre-list for the Spanish team’s friendlies in March that will be played against Colombia and Brazil, will finally be a full international with Morocco, the country of his paternal grandmother.
The interest shown by the Moroccan Federation and the calls from its coach, Walid Regragui, have finally convinced Brahim, who had been contemplating his decision for months.
Brahim went through the Spanish youth ranks and even made his debut with the senior team, and scored, in the match in which the U-21 team faced Lithuania in Leganés on June 8, 2021, due to Sergio’s positive coronavirus Busquets that left the team then led by Luis Enrique confined.
The Asturian coach summoned Brahim on November 5, 2021, when he was playing for AC Milan, for the last two qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup, against Greece and Sweden, but did not give him minutes. Since then the Malaga midfielder has not been mentioned again. EFE
