Haitam and Bilal are now U-23 internationals

The two Atlético Malagueño players debuted with Morocco’s Under-23s, emulating Víctor Gómez, who was in action with Spain’s Under-21s the day before yesterday.

Haitam Abaida was in the starting line-up wearing the number ‘10’ jersey. He is the youngest player to debut in the starting-11 on the team immediately below Morocco’s national team, playing for 80 minutes. Meanwhile, Bilal left the bench for the final 20 minutes of the friendly between Morocco and Sierra Leone.

The result of this entertaining match, held at the Mohammed VI Sports Complex in Morocco, was a 3-3 draw.

The two Club Atlético Malagueño players will end their stage with Morocco’s Under-23s on Tuesday 12th October. Another preparation match is scheduled for the North African side, although the rival has not as yet been determined.
