With Alaa Bellaarouch heading towards a withdrawal, and Yassine Bounou still waiting for the green light from his club, a third, not very crazy option is emerging for Morocco as the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approach.
Injured since the end of last season with Strasbourg, Alaa Bellaarouch finds himself unable to train normally until August. Selected for the tour in Austria with the Alsatian club from July 3, the starting goalkeeper of the Morocco U23 team left to avoid participating in the Olympics.
If this opens the door wide to a potential selection of Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper of the national team A, officially at the disposal of coach Tarik Sektioui, it remains that the resident of Al-Hilal obtains the green light from his club in Saudi Arabia . And the shoe could well hurt there. Because, knowing that it is a non-FIFA date, the club is not required to release its player.
Munir Mohamedi, an unexpected option
Hence the Munir Mohamedi option, finding himself unemployed from July 1st. His contract with Al-Wehda expires on June 30. A boon indeed for the Olympic selection which will have no need to negotiate with any club before a possible call-up. On the other hand, his very probable arrival in the country, and more precisely in RS Berkane, is likely to facilitate the file and has an additional advantage, in the sense that a movement abroad could complicate the task. In short, an unexpected path for the Olympic Atlas Lions.
