Morocco is the team in the entire World Cup that has the most “foreign” players. Only Argentina, Brazil, South Korea and Saudi Arabia are the teams that arrived exclusively with players born in their territory.
The Africans chose to call 14 born outside their country, out of the 26 in the delegation.
Why does this situation occur? Moroccans are one of the populations with the most immigrants in Europe, but they still maintain closeness to their country of origin, according to the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad.
For example, Achraf Hakimi was born in Spain and works professionally in France (PSG), but he chose to play with the Moroccan team for his family.
Some of its figures and holders not born in Morocco are:
– Younes Bounou (Canada)
– Achraf Hakimi (Spain)
-Sofyan Amrabat and Hakim Ziyech (Netherlands)
-Sofiane Boufal (France)
To these indisputable figures in Morocco, are added:
– Zakaria Aboukhlal, Noussair Mazraoui, Achraf Dari (Netherlands)
-Walid Cheddira (Italy)
– selim amallah, Ilias Chair, Bilal El Khannous and Anass Zaroury (Belgium)
