Brahim Díaz is already acting as leader in Walid Regragui’s Morocco. The Real Madrid player started against Zambia in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match and provided his first assist. His arrival at the Atlas Lions caused a lot of trouble when he resigned from the Spanish team, where he played in almost all the youth categories, but his adaptation was meteoric.
The semi-finalist of the last World Cup found a key piece in Brahim, both for his qualities and his ambition. The player was welcomed in style by the fans and the coach, who worked for years in the shadows with the federation to convince the footballer, whose paternal grandmother is Moroccan.
Luis de la Fuente, the coach of Spain, did not call him when he had the chance and the player chose the Moroccan route because he found himself with fewer options to be important to La Roja.
Now, after a few games, he has the stripes of a leader under Regragui’s guidance, as he showed against Zambia. With the number 10 on his back, he started and was key in the action that led to Ben Seghir’s 2-0 in the 67th minute.
