The Morocco national football team is considered one of the champions qualified for the 2026 World Cup, and is looking to reach the final, where Fouzi Lekjaa, the president of the Moroccan Football Federation, wants to face Spain in the final. Lekjaa said he challenges Lamine Yamal, the star of Barcelona, in the 2026 World Cup final, to prove to him whether his decision to represent the Spanish national team was correct or not. Lekjaa added that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation tried hard to include the Barcelona player in the national team, and held several meetings with him in Morocco and Spain, but ultimately failed to convince him, and the player chose to represent the Spanish national team. Lekjaa said that the Moroccan Football Federation presented the player with the Moroccan football project and its goals, and that he respects his decision and wishes him luck. It is worth noting that the Morocco national football team has succeeded in attracting football players of Moroccan origin born in European countries, such as Brahim Diaz, the player of Real Madrid, who has become the main attacking engine of the Morocco national team. Lekjaa explained that Morocco's success in attracting talents is due to the strength of the national football project, the improvement of the training infrastructure, and the emotional connection of the players with their parents' country.
