Between France and Morocco, Ayyoub Bouaddi’s heart swings

Promising young player Ayyoub Bouaddi must decide between the Moroccan selection and the French team.

Morocco and France are fighting to get Ayyoub Bouaddi away from each other. The 17-year-old has received an official invitation to join the French under-20 team. At the same time, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) is pushing hard to have him in the Atlas Lions squad. Now, the young player faces a big dilemma. He must decide between Morocco, the country of origin of his parents and France where he was born, between two distinct sporting projects, each with its ambitions and objectives.
