, after FIFA has admitted the appeal of the Alawite federation to the November ruling of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) that prevented him from doing so, sources close to the player reported.
Munir, 25, played in 2014 the last minutes of a match with the Spanish national team, against North Macedonia in Valencia (5-1), which in theory disqualified him from representing another team as this was a match. official, qualifying for the
Euro 2016

Since he was not yet 21 years old, the
Moroccan Federation
understood that Munir could still be eligible for his parents' country and tried in vain to summon him for the 2018 World Cup and, last November, for two friendlies against Senegal and Congo. It did not participate in them due to the aforementioned CAS resolution.
Despite this change in sports nationality, Munir El Haddadi will continue to count for the quotas of the continental tournaments as a national player, since he has played throughout his formative stage in Spanish clubs:
Atlético de Madrid, Rayo Majadahonda and, from a youthful age, in Barcelona
