Style of play

In addition to defensive work, Amload also participates effectively in attack. Acceptable speed and the ability to create scoring opportunities are the main characteristics of his playing style. This caused Persepolis to sign a contract with him.[13][14]

His ability to hit the last shot on the opponent's goal has been mentioned in the media.[15]

International career

He made his debut for Morocco national football team on 8 June 2021 in a friendly against Ghana. He started the game and was substituted after 86 minutes in a 1–0 win.[16]

On 28 December 2023, El Amloud was amongst the 27 players selected by coach Walid Regragui to represent Morocco in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[17][18]
