Lamine Yamal, a nugget of FC Barcelona, had the choice between Morocco and Spain. His father is Moroccan and his Equato-Guinean mother. The choice was made: Lamine Yamal chose Spain, with which he won Euro 2024. Proud of his Moroccan origins, which he carries on his crampons, Lamine Yamal has never hidden his roots. But he was born in Spain, in Esplues de Llobregat, a Spanish city located in the province of Barcelona, in Catalonia. Asked about the failure of the Yamal file, Ouzzani Lekjaa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, spoke about it.
“The name of Lamine Yamal, in reality, is Amine Jamal. He decided to play for the Spanish national team. No one challenged their choice, everyone follows their games with enthusiasm by wishing him the greatest success. When another choose to play for Morocco, I don't see why he would be subject to controversy. You have to go back to the universality of football. When you have convictions similar to what I have just said, you respect the choice. In life, there are good and unpleasant surprises. We wish Lamine Yamal good luck, the more he prospere, the more he will give the example to young Moroccans, since he is Moroccan. Her family, I have the certainty, comes back to her frequently, to spend a vacation among her family. The Moroccans are proud and will remain proud, that is the fair play that characterizes us ”.
