Has Morocco lost Couhaib Driouech?

Couhaib Driouech, 22-year-old striker playing for PSV Eindhoven, has just been called up with the Netherlands’ hopes. A surprise for some, because the player has already worn the Morocco jersey in youth categories.

The PSV Eindhoven striker was called up for the first time for the Netherlands youth team. The 22-year-old is the only new addition to Michael Reiziger’s squad which faces Slovakia and England in friendlies this month.

Driouech, who joined PSV this summer from Excelsior, has already worn the colors of Morocco in the youth categories. “He was born in the Netherlands, so he could also play for us. We are delighted that he is joining the selection,” said Reiziger.

These meetings are part of the preparation for the Euro U20s which will take place next year in Slovakia. The first match against Slovakia will take place on November 14 away, followed by a confrontation with defending champions England on November 18 in Almere.
