World Cup 2026: Ismaël Baouf’s crystal clear message to Mohamed Ouahbi

At just 20 years old, the former Anderlecht youth captain is displaying great ambitions in the colors of the Lions of the Atlas. Winner of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the defender was called up for the first time with the senior team last March, although he has yet to take the pitch. According to Dutch newspaper AD, his rapid development suggests participation in the next North American World Cup, especially since he has already played under current national team coach Mohamed Ouahbi. Aware of the demands of top-level football, the player approaches this prospect with clear-eyed realism: "If it were up to me, I would join the team without hesitation. Playing in a World Cup is a childhood dream. […] In the end, what you show on the pitch is what matters most. I hope to get my chance."

The player is cultivating this international opportunity through remarkable club statistics. Named best player of the third phase of the season, he significantly contributed to Cambuur’s promotion to the Eredivisie, secured with six matches remaining in the championship. With six goals and one assist, his defensive solidity combined with offensive effectiveness have pushed his market value to €2.5 million. While his current contract encourages him to continue his adventure with his club, his profile is already attracting the attention of giants like Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. Facing these summer rumors, the defensive rock leaves no doors closed: "I would like to help Cambuur for one more season, but if Ajax or PSV contact me and negotiations go well, why not?"
