Chouiar Ready to Represent Moroccan National Team in Arab Cup After FIFA Approves Change of Sporting Nationality

Mounir Chouiar, the Renaissance Berkane player, is now eligible to represent the Moroccan B national team in the Arab Cup, following official approval from FIFA regarding the change of his sporting nationality. Consequently, the player will be available for selection by coach Tarik Sektioui, starting with the upcoming match against Oman next Friday at 3:30 PM Moroccan time, which is part of the second round of the group stage, according to consistent media reports.

Chouiar's inclusion is considered a significant boost for the attacking line, thanks to his versatile options in both build-up play and finishing attacks. This addition is particularly crucial given the absence of Hamza Hanouri, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.

In related news, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced that Hanouri suffered an injury during a training session on Monday. He underwent initial MRI scans, with additional examinations scheduled for today, Wednesday, to determine the nature and severity of the injury.
