played in the first match, in a 1–0 win against Israel U21, but was substituted in the first half by Otman Bakkal due to an injury.

Morocco On 20 October 2007, a Moroccan website stated that Ismaïl chose to represent the Morocco national team internationally instead of Netherlands, and that Henri Michel the coach of the will include him in the selection that will face France on 17 November in a friendly match in Paris. This, however, turned out to be a false statement. Then on 30 December 2008, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation revealed that Ismaïl Aissati would represent Morocco. However, this was denied by Aisatti, himself. It was thought that Aissati would most likely make his debut on 11 February 2009 against the Czech Republic in Casablanca, but he was later ruled out of this match with injury. In 2011 he made his debut for Morocco on 10 August 2011 in the 2–0 away victory against Senegal in Dakar. Personal life Aissati is a Muslim.
