Amiens young defender opts for Morocco | Amine Chabane

Amine Chabane, Amiens' young defender, has decided to represent Morocco instead of Algeria. The 17-year-old player, born in France to an Algerian father and a Moroccan mother, had initially chosen to defend Algeria's colors.

Why this choice?

Morocco has a U18 team, which is not the case for Algeria. The latter only has U17 and U20 teams, making it difficult to integrate new players.

What does this mean for Amiens?

Amine Chabane has played 10 minutes this season in Ligue 2 and 20 matches with the U19 nationals. His choice to represent Morocco could have an impact on his football future with Amiens.

What happens next?

Amine Chabane has already made his debut with the Moroccan U18 team, starting in the match against Northern Ireland. The Lionceaux won 2-1.
