Sofiane Rahimi showcases remarkable displays with Al Ain in both domestic and continental competitions, while striker Abderrazak Hamdallah consistently finds the net for his club Al Ittihad Jeddah in the Saudi Professional League and the AFC Champions League.
Similarly, Jawad El Yamiq delivers standout performances with Al Wehda in Saudi Arabia, alongside Murad Batna who has risen as a prominent figure within Al Fath’s ranks.
The standout performances of Moroccan professionals in Gulf leagues present a dilemma for national team coach Walid El-Ragragi.
His insistence on excluding them from his squad in favor of players competing in European leagues now faces scrutiny given the exceptional form displayed by these players in their respective clubs abroad.
