PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS: THE MOROCCO TEAM WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON HAKIMI AND BRAHIM DIAZ THIS SUMMER

According to the Spanish site Relevo, the Moroccan Federation would like to select PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi (25 years old) and Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Diaz (24 years old) to participate in the next Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The Olympic football tournament is the envy of many. While France dreams of attracting several superstars (Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann) despite the great complexity of the task, Morocco also intends to integrate significant reinforcements into its selection. According to the Spanish site Relevo, the president of the Moroccan Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, would like to bring in the right side of PSG, Achraf Hakimi (25 years old), and Brahim Diaz (24 years old), the midfielder of Real Madrid, who has just chosen to play for the Atlas Lions. The prospect of possibly playing in the Olympics would also have weighed in the choice of the native of Malaga, who waited a long time, in vain, for a call from the Spanish selection. Diaz was born and raised in Spain where he even wore the jersey of all the youth teams. He would have had a very bad experience with his non-selection during the last Tokyo 2021 Olympics by Luis De La Fuente… now coach of La Roja. In his seduction operation, the president of the Moroccan Federation would have made several promises to Diaz such as installing him in « 10 », making him a pillar of the selection and doing everything to take him to the next Olympic Games, lists Relevo. The tournament is reserved for players under 23, with three exceptions for older players. If Morocco wants to reserve two of these three places for Hakimi and Diaz, it will not have the last word.
