Although he recently made his first two caps with the France Espoirs team, Bouaddi has not yet drawn a definitive line on the possibility of representing Morocco, the country of his origins. According to the Moroccan media Hespressthe FRMF recently made progress in this matter by obtaining a Moroccan identity card for the player, paving the way for the creation of a Moroccan passport.
However, the FFF does not intend to give up so easily. She would have, via her national technical direction (DTN), intensified the steps to convince Bouaddi to continue with the Blues, even exerting pressure on his club, LOSC, in order to influence his decision. This situation places the young player in a delicate position, where he will have to choose between Morocco and France, two selections offering very different but equally attractive prospects.
The example of Adil Rami, who initially wanted to represent Morocco before being influenced by his environment in Lille, remains remembered. However, Morocco has today taken on another dimension on the international scene, as demonstrated by its historic journey during the 2022 World Cup.
The choice of Ayoub Bouaddi will undoubtedly be closely followed. For now, the player seems more focused on his progress at club, but this crucial decision will mark a turning point in his international career. One thing is certain: the two nations will do everything to attract this promising talent.
