Teenage Soccer Prodigy Sparks National Team Tug-of-War Between Morocco and Netherlands

Abdellah Ouazane, a 15-year-old Moroccan prodigy playing at Ajax Amsterdam, is at the heart of a tug-of-war between Morocco and the Netherlands.

The young winger, who is already attracting the biggest European clubs, is being actively courted by the Dutch federation, which dreams of seeing him wear the "Oranje" jersey.

Sources close to the case have revealed that representatives of the Dutch federation have multiplied contacts with the player and his family. Considered one of the greatest hopes of Dutch football, Ouazane is the focus of all attention.

Despite the pressure, the young man seems determined to honor the nationality of origin of his parents. He is said to have already informed the Dutch authorities of his decision to represent Morocco. A response that has apparently not discouraged the latter, who are determined to turn the situation around.

Author of remarkable performances during the qualifying tournament for the U17 Africa Cup of Nations with the Atlas Lion Cubs, Ouazane has caught the eye of several European heavyweights. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Inter Milan would notably be in the running to secure the services of the young talent.

Trained at Ajax Amsterdam since the age of 7, Ouazane is destined for a brilliant future. His two goals scored during the North African Union tournament have confirmed the potential of this precocious player.
