Governing body of football in Morocco, Rabat-based
The Court of Arbitration for Sport will hold the Morocco–Senegal AFCON final case hearing behind closed doors in Lausanne, with no verdict date yet. Senegal appealed Caf’s ruling that Morocco won 3-0 after Senegal walked off the pitch in Rabat following a late penalty. The outcome will not be announced on the hearing day.
Morocco, Spain and Portugal are co-hosts for the 2030 World Cup, with FIFA yet to decide the final venue. Moroccan PM Akhannouch warns against premature promises as tensions run over where the final will be played. Multiple leaders emphasize resolving hosting rights with their allies. The 2030 tournament will mark the competition’s 100th anniversary.
The Authenticity and Modernity Party has won the most seats in Morocco's parliamentary election, but no party has an outright majority. PAM will need to form a coalition to govern while turnout remains historically low. The king will appoint the prime minister from the largest party. Youth discontent and calls for better public services persist as the country prepares for the 2030 World Cup.
Morocco has formed a coalition government led by Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri of PAM. The coalition includes Istiqlal and two smaller left-wing parties, holding a narrow majority in Parliament. The government faces rising living costs, unemployment, and public service needs ahead of 2030 World Cup preparations.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has begun deliberations after hearing Senegal’s challenge to CAF’s decision that Morocco was crowned 2025 AFCON champions. A full CAS ruling is expected by the end of November 2026, including legal grounds.
