International: Jebbour chooses Morocco

International: Jebbour chooses Morocco

Born in Poitiers, but having the French-Moroccan dual nationality, the young Rennes defender Yassine Jebbour should soon be playing his international football with Maroc.

According to our information, Jebbour replied favourably to an approach made a few months ago by the Moroccan federation. Whereas he had been selected in the French U16 and U17 age categories, he should swap the blue French shirt for the red shirt of Morocco.

Jebbour should soon start with the Morrocan U21, who prepare for the qualifications to the 2012 Olympic Games. With the qualifications starting in March only, the young Rennes should be called up for friendly games until then.
