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.
