Mohamed Wahbi expands the search for new talents for the Moroccan national team

Mohamed Wahbi, the coach of the Moroccan national team, is intensifying his movements in Europe in search of new talents that could enter the plans of the "Atlas Lions" during upcoming competitions, as part of a strategy aimed at expanding the pool of options available to the coaching staff.

Wahbi continues his tour of several European countries to monitor Moroccan players or those of Moroccan descent, directly assessing their technical and physical levels before making decisions regarding the potential call-up of some names to the national team.

Abdellah Ouazane is at the top of Wahbi's interests.

The Netherlands is one of the key stops on the Moroccan coach's tour, where Abdellah Ouazane, a player for Ajax and the Moroccan U17 national team, is receiving special attention from Wahbi.

The Moroccan national team coach wants to closely monitor Abdellah Ouazane's progress, especially after the performances he has delivered since joining the first team of the Dutch club, before making a final decision regarding the possibility of giving him a chance with the senior national team.

Walid Regragui is expected to make a decision on the player before the matches against Gabon and Lesotho, scheduled for September 25 and 29, as part of the first round of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations.

An anticipated meeting with Shaquille van Persie.

Wahbi's mission in the Netherlands is not limited to following Ouazane, as he is expected to meet with Feyenoord's 18-year-old player, Shakeel van Persie, who has a Moroccan mother.

Walid Regragui aims to learn more about the player's potential during the meeting, as well as to present the Moroccan national team's project and explain his sporting vision, in an attempt to persuade him to represent the 'Atlas Lions' in the upcoming period.

The interest in Van Persie comes as part of the Moroccan Football Federation's strategy to attract young talents with dual nationality, especially players who have great potential for future development.

Germany opens the door to new names.

After finishing his stint in the Netherlands, Mohamed Wahbi is expected to move to Germany to continue his talent scouting process, as he intends to follow Younes Ibn Taleb and Wael Mouhya.

The two players are among the names the coach wants to assess directly in preparation for decisions regarding their potential inclusion in the national teams in the upcoming period.

This European round reflects Mohamed Wahbi and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation's desire to expand the selection pool for the national team by monitoring young talents and not just relying on the current players. This approach allows for the formation of a broader base of players capable of forming the core of the "Atlas Lions" in the coming years.
