Sofyan Amrabat has announced that he will not return to the Moroccan national football team as long as Mohamed Wahbi remains the head coach. The midfielder, who currently plays for Ajax Amsterdam, did not provide specific reasons for his decision.

Amrabat emphasized that representing Morocco has been a significant honor throughout his career. He noted that since receiving his first national team call-up 12 years ago, he has consistently shown commitment and pride in wearing the Moroccan jersey. Despite his current stance, he reaffirmed his enduring affection for the country and the national team.

The decision comes amid ongoing discussions about the leadership of the Moroccan squad, with Mohamed Wahbi holding the head coach position. There has been no official response from the Moroccan Football Federation regarding Amrabat’s announcement.

The midfielder’s absence would mark a notable development for Morocco as they prepare for upcoming international fixtures, where Amrabat’s experience and midfield capabilities have been considered valuable assets. His long tenure with the national team has included appearances in major tournaments, contributing to Morocco’s standing in international football.

While the reasons behind Amrabat’s refusal to play under Wahbi remain undisclosed, the situation highlights challenges within the team’s current management and player relations. Observers will be watching for any further statements from the player or the national team’s officials as the situation evolves.
