Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz Explores Moroccan Heritage During Marrakech Vacation

The Spanish-Moroccan player Brahim Diaz is having a good time in Marrakech. He visited Jemaa el-Fna square and the surrounding markets. The Real Madrid star was impressed by the traditional crafts and Moroccan cuisine of the famous square in the ochre city, reports the media Rue20.

Born on August 3, 1999 in Malaga to a mother from that city, Patricia Díaz and a father of Moroccan origin from Melilla, Sufiel Abdelkader Mohand, Brahim has Spanish and Moroccan nationalities. He started his international career in the Spanish youth categories, but has not had the opportunity to play in the senior team. He notably participated in the 2016 European Under-17 Championship organized in Azerbaijan.

After repeatedly declining the invitation of former Moroccan national team coaches, Hervé Renard and Vahid Halilhodžić, he finally chooses to join the den of the Atlas Lions. The current coach of the Moroccan national team, Walid Regragui, will have a serious discussion with the Real Madrid midfielder in this direction, after the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) currently taking place in Côte d’Ivoire.
