The Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football has defended the CAF Appeal Board’s decision regarding Senegal’s forfeiture in the AFCON 2025 final.
In a statement on its official website, the federation stressed that its appeal focused on ensuring the correct application of competition rules, and was not meant to question the sporting performance of any team.
“The Federation reiterates that its approach has always been grounded in respect for the rules and stability of African competitions,” it said.
The Moroccan body also praised all participating nations, noting the tournament’s role in advancing African football.
A full position will be released after a governing body meeting scheduled for Wednesday, outlining Morocco’s stance and any potential legal or administrative measures.
The CAF ruling has reignited debates over governance and regulatory consistency in African football, with calls for clearer rules and more transparent decision-making. Morocco’s response is expected to influence ongoing discussions about reforms and accountability within CAF.
