Speaking of changing nationalities.
Didnt Rosella Ayane use to play for the all the English sides through the ranks, before changing when it came to the seniors?
She does seem like genuinely proud to represent Morroco and has those connections to it. But I do wonder if she changed because she didn’t think she’d get a call up to England, or because she really did want to explore her Moroccan roots and that side of herself. Never really read into it so not sure if she’s spoken on it before.
yeah she did. i remember it’s how her and leah became best mates, and they’ve been friends since. there’s a funny story on it they told once with rosella having an allergic reaction in like the u16s camp or something. she changed to morroco at 25, i think.
Yep, to all of this.
And she has spoken on her decision before, she says she did it for her dad, who was Moroccan, and passed away when she was 13. Helps her feel connected to him and to reconnect with her heritage.
Yeah I do think it’s a genuine thing from her. She’s visited Morocco quite a few times now I think, and seems genuinely proud to represent them. I don’t think it was just some move to be able to play international football.
sorry but… maybe she has found her genuine connection to it now and is proud to represent them, but she still only changed initially because she wasn’t getting selected for england
Oh for sure. It’s why she did it at 25, not earlier.
