Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old midfielder for Lille OSC, has reportedly made a definitive decision regarding his international football future. According to journalist Abdellah Boulma, Bouaddi has chosen to represent France rather than Morocco, ending months of speculation about his allegiance.
Bouaddi, who was born in France to Moroccan parents, has been a standout talent for Lille's youth academy and first team. His performances have attracted attention from both the French Football Federation and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, each hoping to secure his commitment.
The decision is not yet officially confirmed by either federation or the player himself, but Boulma's report suggests Bouaddi has informed the relevant parties of his choice. The midfielder is eligible to play for both nations and had been courted by Morocco, which has recently strengthened its squad with dual-nationality players.
If confirmed, Bouaddi would join France's youth setup, with a potential path to the senior team. The player's development at Lille, a club known for nurturing young talent, will be closely watched by fans of both nations.
