Algeria Football– The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), under the leadership of Fouzi Lekjaa, is embarking on an intense competition with France to attract several young talents playing in French clubs. Among the main targets are Ayoub Bouaddi, 17, and Nassim El Fatmi, 16, both rising stars of LOSC, as well as Hugo Al Qadamiri, 17, nugget of Olympique de Marseille, nicknamed “Haaland of Marseille” in due to his large size and his style of play reminiscent of Erling Haaland, the Manchester City star.

Our recruiters in France have strong relationships with the families of these players, but it is clear that these young talents are also being courted and are being pressured to prevent them from joining the Morocco team.”
