Brahim Díaz is not only making waves on the pitch with his performances for Real Madrid but is also rapidly gaining a strong following in Morocco, where he is regarded as a national star. The Moroccan international has captured the hearts of millions of fans in the country, where his presence goes beyond football.
In the recent match against Rayo Vallecano, Brahim only played briefly, coming on in the 86th minute for Jude Bellingham. This limited time on the field was partly due to a slight fever he experienced earlier in the day and possibly because he's being saved for a starting role in Real Madrid's upcoming derby against Atlético Madrid. While nothing is confirmed, the stage is set for Brahim to shine in what could be considered "his" derby, given his impressive track record of scoring three goals against Atlético, making them one of his favorite opponents, alongside Granada.
Off the field, Brahim has gone viral in Morocco thanks to a high-profile advertisement campaign. As the face of a well-known local telecommunications company, his image appears on over 1,000 billboards across the country, and he is featured in continuous television advertisements. This is the largest sponsorship deal in Morocco's telecom industry, and the campaign's aim is to inspire young Moroccan football enthusiasts.
A major event is planned as part of this initiative, where talented young footballers from across Morocco will have the opportunity to meet Brahim, learn from his experiences, and be inspired by his journey. A competition, both online and in-person, will be held to select the most passionate and talented youth, giving them a chance to interact with their idol in person. If Brahim scores again in the upcoming derby, his already immense popularity in Morocco will undoubtedly skyrocket.
