On 17 March 2022, Ezzalzouli was listed in the 26-man squad to face DR Congo in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF Third Round.[16][17]

In September 2022, Ezzalzouli was called up to join the Morocco national team.[18][19] He played his first match in a friendly against Chile at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà de Llobregat, which ended in a 2–0 victory.[20][21]
