Main Points
Soufiane Fawzi, a 24-year-old midfielder for the German club Schalke, has officially committed to representing the Moroccan national team. The decision marks a significant shift for the player, who holds dual German and Moroccan citizenship and was born in the city of Siegen.
Fawzi had been under observation by the German national team’s technical staff, led by coach Jurgen Klopp, who viewed the midfielder as a promising prospect for their squad. Major German sports media outlets, including Bula News and T-Online, reported on the development, confirming that the player has finalized his choice to play for the Atlas Lions.
The player’s name has been included in the latest 29-man squad called up by the Moroccan national team manager. This selection effectively ends the German Football Association’s efforts to secure his services.
According to FIFA regulations, Fawzi’s participation in upcoming official matches against Gabon, Lesotho, and Ghana will finalize his international eligibility, preventing him from changing his sporting nationality in the future. This move is considered a notable addition for the Moroccan national team as it continues to recruit talent with dual citizenship from major European leagues.
