AFCON 2025: Morocco defends CAF ruling amid controversy

The Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) has acknowledged CAF’s Appeal Board ruling following the disputed AFCON 2025 final.

In a statement on its official website, the federation said its appeal was aimed at ensuring proper application of competition rules, not disputing the sporting merit of any team.

“The Federation reiterates that its approach has always been grounded in respect for the rules and stability of African competitions,” it stated.

The Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football also commended all participating nations, describing the tournament as significant for African football development.

It said a detailed position would be released after a meeting of its governing bodies scheduled for Wednesday.

The federation added that the forthcoming statement would clarify its stance and outline any legal or administrative steps if necessary.

The ruling by the Confederation of African Football Appeal Committee has intensified debate over governance and regulatory consistency in African football.

Stakeholders have called for clearer rules and more transparent decision-making processes across CAF competitions.

Morocco’s response is expected to influence ongoing discussions on reforms and accountability within CAF structures.
