[Sport] FIFA Approves Brahim Diaz's Change of Sport Nationality

[Profesoruツ]

Rabat - The International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) has approved football player Brahim Diaz's decision for change of sport nationality. The football world’s governing body notified the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) of this news on Tuesday. The official X sports page (formerly Twitter) TFT Morocco also shared a post concerning the news. “Brahim Diaz has officially changed his sporting nationality and becomes a Moroccan international,” the post stated, stressing that “FIFA validated his change of sport nationality and notified the FRMF of its decision.” The Real Madrid player’s official change of his sport nationality has enabled him to defend the colors of the Moroccan national football team in the upcoming friendly games against Angola and Mauritania. Last month, FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa and Morocco’s head coach Walid Regragui convened with the Real Madrid star in Morocco, where they introduced the player to the sporting project they are organizing and elaborated on the  key role he will play in the national team. Diaz is reportedly on board with the project, which led him to opt for becoming an Atlas Lion. Morocco’s next friendly games are scheduled on March 22 and 26 at the Adrar stadium in the southern city Agadir. These games are part of Morocco’s preparations for the forthcoming competitions, including the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The attacking midfielder had once played for Spain's Espoirs in a friendly game against Lithuania in 2021, where he contributed to a 4-0 victory by scoring a goal.Your support allows us to continue delivering quality journalism that is accessible to audiences across the globe.
