Strasbourg’s promising winger, Diego Moreira, aged 20, has officially committed his international future to Belgium.
The decision sees the talented youngster, who could have also represented Portugal, Guinea-Bissau, or Germany, opt for the Red Devils.
The news comes as Moreira has just received his first call-up to the latest Belgium squad, signaling his immediate integration into the national team setup.
Born in Liège, Belgium, Moreira spent time in the Belgian youth system at U15 level before primarily featuring for Portugal’s youth teams across various age groups, including U16, U18, U19, U20, and U21.
However, after discussions and with the approval from FIFA to switch his allegiance, Moreira has now pledged his loyalty to his country of birth.
Belgium’s new coach, Rudi Garcia, has openly expressed his desire to integrate young talents, and Moreira’s decision is a significant boost for the national team’s future plans.
This choice reflects a new chapter for Moreira on the international stage as he aims to make his senior debut for Belgium.
