The interview touched the hearts of other nations around the world, including Spain and his favorite team.

Real contacted Al Arabiya TV channel to obtain a contact number for Abdul’s uncle.

The club was then able to track him down and welcome him into their football family.

Abdul’s father, mother, two brothers and grandfather were among more than 2,900 people who died in the 6.8-magnitude quake in his home country last Friday.

In an interview that caused great emotion among viewers, he explained that he wanted to fulfill his father’s dream of completing his training as a teacher or doctor.

He added: “I just want to finish my studies.”

Abdul was then surprised and delighted when Al Arabiya said in a second conversation that Real would be happy to help him.

The Bernabeu giants plan to integrate him into their academy to play football and continue his studies.

Abdul said in the video: “Thank God… This created me [so] Happy,”

The earthquake destroyed remote villages in the High Atlas Mountains in central Morocco.
