Munir El Haddadi and Morocco take advantage of Fifa rule change

Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic has immediately taken advantage of a recent change in Fifa regulations to include Munir El Haddadi in his latest squad.

The old regulations prevented the 25-year-old Sevilla forward from playing for the Atlas Lions as he had earned a competitive cap for Spain.

However, at last month’s Fifa annual congress the rule was amended, following a proposal by the Moroccan Football Federation.

Players can now switch if they have played no more than three matches at senior level, with all the appearances coming before the player turns 21. (BBC)
