Football : Moroccan-Dutch player Oussama Idrissi joins the Atlas Lions

Moroccan-Dutch football Oussama Idrissi has finally made his mind. The winger, who currently plays for Dutch club AZ Alkmaar, has decided to join the Atlas Lions, reports Voetbal International.

The latter recalls that the Dutch-born player had to choose between the Netherlands and Morocco. In November, the 22-year-old winger accepted an invitation to take part in Morocco’s training camp, without making a final choice.

Now that he has opted for the Moroccan national football team, Idrissi is expected to join the ranks of the Atlas Lions on March the 23rd. He is set to play against Malawi, during the African Cup of Nations qualifier.

Idrissi was born on February the 6th, 1996 in Berg-op-Zoom in the Netherlands, to Moroccan parents from Nador. He played for several clubs in Hollande, including SV Dosko, FC Bergen, RKSV Halsteren and NAC Breda before joining Rotterdam’s club.

In 2017, he was transferred to FC Groningen, where he was trained as a professional football player, and joined AZ Alkmaar in January 2018.
