The FRMF Appeals Decisions from the CAF Disciplinary Committee
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has decided to file an appeal against the sanctions imposed by the Disciplinary Commission of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following the events that occurred during the Africa Cup of Nations final held on Sunday, January 18, 2026, between the Moroccan national team and its Senegalese counterpart.
Serious Incidents During the Final
In a statement, the FRMF clarified that it recently received the decisions from the Disciplinary Commission regarding the incidents that took place during the match. These incidents included the withdrawal of Senegalese players and staff, the intrusion of supporters onto the pitch, and the resulting chaos that disrupted the normal proceedings of the continental final.
An Official Correspondence to CAF to Uphold the Image of African Football
The statement emphasizes that the president of the FRMF sent an official letter to the president of the CAF, expressing surprise at the decisions made, which he considers disproportionate given the severity of the events. The FRMF reaffirms its commitment to defending the rights of Moroccan football while upholding the principles of fair play and the image of African football.
