Sofyan Amrabat has announced today, Tuesday, his decision not to be with the Morocco national team during the upcoming period, as long as Mohamed Wahbi remains at the helm of the coaching staff for the 'Atlas Lions'. He confirmed at the same time that his decision does not represent an international retirement. Sofyan Amrabat explained in a message posted on his Instagram account that the decision was extremely difficult, but he does not feel capable of continuing to represent the Morocco national team under the current coach. He added: "I put myself outside the selection considerations as long as he remains in his position." An Ajax player has refused to reveal the reasons that led him to take this step, indicating that he prefers to keep them to himself out of respect for Morocco and all parties involved. He stressed, however, that his love for Morocco and the national team has not changed, and that he is not closing the door on a future return. Sofyan Amrabat, 30 years old, has made his decision after participating with Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2026, where he played three matches, starting one of them as a starter, while coming on as a substitute in the matches against Canada and France. Amrabat was one of the standout players for the Moroccan national team during their historic run to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022. Sofyan Amrabat is set to miss Morocco's upcoming matches against Gabon and Lesotho in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification 2027.
