El Kaabi made his international debut for Morocco on January 13 during the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) match against Mauritania, scoring three goals. The RSB Berkane’s striker was named Man of The Match on January 31 after Morocco’s match against Libya’s National Football Team during CHAN’s semi-final match. Morocco won the game 3-1.
The African Football Federation (CAF) chose El Kaabi as the best player of the tournament due to the world-class performance and pure talent he displayed throughout the entire tournament scoring 9 goals in 5 matches, making him the top goal scorer in the entire history of the competition.
