We understand Brahim who played for Spain against Lithuania in October 2021 and scored has obtained FIFA clearance to join the North African nation henceforth.

The former Manchester City and Real Madrid man is expected to be named in the Morocco squad to be announced by coach Walid Regragui in the days ahead for upcoming commitments of the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-finalist.

Born in Malaga, Spain in August 1999, to Moroccan father and a Spanish mother, Brahim has been eligible to represent both nations, though he previously turned down Morocco when he was first approached by Herve Renard in 2018.

The player has however had a rethink after close to a year in the cold and decided to play for Morocco.
