Mayssa Baha Affirms Her Commitment to Moroccan Football
In a significant development for Moroccan football, rising star Mayssa Baha has confirmed her decision to represent Morocco on the international stage. The remarkable 15-year-old talent, currently making waves with FC Barcelona's women's team, has garnered attention not just for her skills but also for her heritage. Born in Spain, Mayssa was eligible to play for both Spain and France, thanks to her father's Moroccan roots.

“It’s a Great Honor to Wear the Moroccan Jersey”
Speaking passionately about her decision, Mayssa stated, "It’s a great honor for me to wear the jersey of Morocco and to follow the example of my father and my brother." Her father, Nabil Baha, is a former Moroccan international who has transitioned into coaching, currently overseeing the Moroccan U23 team. Her brother, Ziyad Baha, also represents Morocco and was part of the U17 team that secured the African Championship title last year. Mayssa’s commitment to her national team reflects her deep connection to her roots and the legacy of her family in Moroccan football.
In her statements, she emphasized her determination to contribute to the national team’s success, stating her excitement about the recent performance of the U17 team, which won their match against New Zealand 4-0 at the World Cup held in Morocco. Mayssa is keen to make her mark and inspire young athletes, promising to give her best for her supporters and her country.
As the Moroccan football community celebrates her decision, Mayssa Baha stands as a symbol of national pride and resilience, ready to carve her own path in the annals of Moroccan sports history.
