Algeria Football – According to reliable sources, the future of Hakim Ziyech with the Moroccan selection seems uncertain. Morocco coach Walid Regragui has reportedly made a decision on the Moroccan international, which could mark the end of his career with the national team.
Absent from the list for the October gathering, Ziyech should also be excluded for the November selection, which Regragui must officially announce tomorrow. This distance from the national team seems linked to the player’s recent positions.
Indeed, Ziyech publicly expressed his support for the Palestinian cause and criticized his country’s decision to normalize its relations with the Zionist entity, a very sensitive subject in Morocco. These statements would have irritated certain members of the Moroccan Football Federation, who would have decided not to summon him for future gatherings.
Faced with this situation, Ziyech could consider ending his international career. A decision which, if confirmed, would mark a turning point for the Atlas Lions, Ziyech having been one of the key players in the selection. This potential departure could deprive Morocco of a major talent, but the player seems determined to stay true to his personal beliefs, even if it means giving up his journey with the national team.
