Morocco’s FRMF Welcomes CAF Appeal Ruling

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has welcomed the decision of the CAF Appeal Board, which confirmed that competition regulations were not properly enforced during a recent interrupted match, reinforcing the integrity and consistency of international tournaments.

From the outset, the FRMF maintained a clear stance emphasising the strict application of governing regulations. The federation’s approach throughout the process was guided solely by this principle.

Following its appeal, CAF upheld the FRMF’s position, providing clarity on the regulatory framework and reaffirming the conditions necessary for proper conduct in continental competitions.

The federation stated it acted fully in compliance with all relevant legal and procedural frameworks, consistently focusing on upholding its rights and protecting the integrity of the tournament.

“This decision strengthens the consistency and credibility of international competitions, particularly within African football,” the FRMF noted in a statement.

The FRMF reaffirmed its commitment to the fair and consistent application of competition rules across all continental and international football bodies.

Looking ahead, the federation is turning its attention to the upcoming sporting calendar, including the FIFA World Cup and the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for this summer.

The FRMF also commended all participating nations in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), highlighting the continued strength and dynamism of African football.
