Eliesse Ben Seghir is called up by Morocco for the Olympics!

He will compete in the first international competition of his young career. Called up with the Morocco senior team since March (4 caps, 1 goal), Eliesse Ben Seghir vawill now represent his country at U-23 level. The midfielder trained at the Academy is on a list of 22 players set to play in the Paris Olympic Games, from July 24 to August 11.

Placed in Group B with Argentina, Iraq and Ukraine, the players of theLionceaux de l'Atlashave great ambitions since we find in particular several players from Ligue 1. We thus find the Parisian Achraf Hakimi, Le Havre's Yacine Kechta and Oussama Targhaline, Reims' Amir Richardson and the AS Saint Etienne player Benjamin Bouchouari.

They therefore appear to have all the weapons to get out of this first qualifying round, before potentially facing the French team in the quarterfinals, depending on the ranking of each of the two teams. The opportunity for Eliesse to perhaps meet Maghnes Akliouche, Chrislain Matsima and Soungoutou Magassa, who appear on the pre-list named by Thierry Henry forLes Bleuets.Bravo Eliesse! 👏
