The young defender currently plays for the Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht Futures. Previously, he played for Belgium’s national teams at the U15 to U19 levels.
“Ismail chose Morocco with all his heart and soul,” his father stated. “We are very proud of him. I hope he will soon have the chance to showcase his talent.”
