The Ebnoutalib Effect? A U20 Talent Turns His Back on Morocco and Chooses Germany

Wael Mohya, a young Borussia Mönchengladbach player, has chosen to join the German U20 team despite Morocco's efforts to persuade him to switch national teams. The FRMF believed they had made significant progress, but Mohya, of Moroccan descent, prefers to continue with Germany for now, while not closing the door to Morocco. Born in Mettmann, he played 17 matches last season and is considered one of Gladbach's top talents.
