Nabil Baha calls up Gabriel Bayoumi to strengthen Morocco U-17 World Cup hopes

Morocco’s U-17 national football team has gained an important boost ahead of the World Cup after coach Nabil Baha called up goalkeeper Gabriel Bayoumi to fill a crucial gap.

Bayoumi, who plays for French side Amiens, was invited to join the squad following an unfortunate injury to Yassine Badoui, the talented Marseille keeper, who was forced out of the competition.

The team is currently holding an intensive training camp in Ajman, UAE, aiming to sharpen tactics and team spirit before traveling to Qatar for the prestigious tournament. Baha hopes Bayoumi’s experience in French football will help stabilize the defense and maintain Morocco’s ambitions for a strong showing on the global stage.

This call-up highlights the faith Morocco’s technical staff have in their young talent abroad, as they seek to represent the nation with pride. Supporters are optimistic that Bayoumi can seize the opportunity and help the squad achieve a memorable campaign.

With the World Cup approaching, Morocco’s focus on development and resilience signals bright prospects for youth football in the country.
