Morocco Secures Lille Striker Osame Sahraoui as FIFA Approves Nationality Switch from Norway

This decision was carefully considered for the LOSC (Lille) player, who preferred the colors of Morocco to those of Norway, his country of birth.

Despite multiple calls from the Nordic selection, Sahraoui ultimately opted for his father’s country. "It was a difficult choice to make, my heart being divided between Norway and Morocco," he said in a statement, expressing his gratitude to Norway, which welcomed and trained him in football.

After long discussions with his entourage, the player finally decided in favor of Morocco, a decision that delights the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
