The north African giants have been pitted alongside Argentina, Ukraine and Iraq in their group, and hope to have Real star attacker Brahim Diaz among their ranks.

The Olympics men's football tournament is an U23 competition, but three players over the age limit per team are eligible to play in it and the Atlas Lions are hoping to have the winger be a part of their side between July and August.

According to Al9anat.com, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is currently in talks with Real chiefs so that Diaz can be one of the senior players made available to coach Tarik Sektioui.
