The homeland of Yamal’s father is Morocco. Morocco has made great efforts to persuade Yamal to represent the Moroccan national team. Recently, in an interview with "Rue 20", Moroccan football legend and goalkeeper Yassine Bounu, who currently plays for Riyadh Crescent, expressed his deep feelings for Barcelona genius Yamal.
Bunou said: "We still feel that he is one of us." He said that Yamal "has a special emotional connection with the team" and "he is like family."
Previously, Morocco coach Regueraji said in "El Chiringuito" program once said frankly: "We have tried our best. We showed him Morocco's football blueprint, the African Cup that will be held in the country, the plan for the 2030 World Cup, and the love of the country's people for him. But this child never lied, he did not play the game of 'am I Moroccan or Spanish'. He just made his own decision, that is, to play for the Spanish national team."
However, Morocco's feelings for Yamal have not faded. Although Yamal now represents Spain in the international arena, he still maintains a deep emotional bond with Morocco. As the host of the 2025 African Cup of Nations, Morocco will continue to pay attention to this genius who comes from their blood; and Yamal's goal is to help Spain realize its dream of double championships in the European Cup and World Cup in North America next year.
