Morocco rallying behind Real Madrid star for this year’s Ballon d’Or

The Ballon d’Or finalists, awarded by France Football, have been announced, and six Real Madrid players are in the running.

However, another Real Madrid player, Brahim Diaz, is being considered for the African Ballon d’Or.

This prestigious award, which has been given by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 1996, has been won by football legends such as Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, and Yaya Toure.

Brahim, who became a naturalised Moroccan player in March, is eligible for this recognition due to his outstanding achievements both with Real Madrid and the Moroccan national team.

His trophy cabinet includes La Liga, the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup, and the European Cup. These accomplishments, combined with his stellar performances for Morocco, have made him a key figure in the North African team.

The Moroccan fans already see him as a hero, and according to Mundo Deportivo, there is growing support for Brahim to secure the African Ballon d’Or when it is awarded in December.
