Joyous celebration for Rahimi family as Soufiane joins Olympic squad for Paris 2024
The list, revealed by Sektioui, included Soufiane Rahimi, who will make his debut in a global competition with the national team.
Rahimi previously participated in the 2018 African Nations Championship but missed out on the 2022 Qatar World Cup and the recent Africa Cup of Nations held in Côte d’Ivoire.
A well-informed source disclosed that the family was aware of the discussions between Sektioui and Soufiane regarding his potential participation in the Olympics as a replacement for Brahim Diaz.
However, they only truly believed the news when they saw it confirmed during the national coach’s press conference.
The same source shared that Soufiane’s father, Mohamed Youari, was overjoyed, receiving congratulations from his friends and fellow Raja Casablanca supporters. “Praise be to God, He is great,” he told them, expressing his happiness.
The inclusion of Soufiane Rahimi in the Olympic squad has not only brought immense pride to his family but also excitement among Moroccan football fans, who are eagerly looking forward to his performance on the international stage.
This marks a significant milestone in Rahimi’s career, promising to be a highlight in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
