Sofyan Amrabat suspends international career under Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi

Sofyan Amrabat announced his unavailability for the Morocco national team while Mohamed Ouahbi remains the head coach. The 30-year-old midfielder specified he is not retiring from international football but will not play under the current leadership. Amrabat played 78 caps for his country and cited a difficult decision regarding his status. Since Mohamed Ouahbi replaced former coach Walid Regragui shortly before this summer's World Cup, Amrabat has seen limited playing time. He started only one match during the tournament and appeared as a substitute in two other games. Amrabat opted to keep the specific reasons for his departure private out of respect for the squad.
