Governing body of football in Morocco, Rabat-based
Morocco is set to co‑host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal. Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch has challenged RMFF president Fouzi Lekjaa after he claimed the final would be hosted in Morocco. FIFA has not yet decided the final host and a decision will be announced in due course.
Ronald Koeman has resigned as the Netherlands head coach following their World Cup last-32 defeat to Morocco. He has acknowledged the disappointment and says the responsibility rests with him. The Dutch side had aimed for a historic run but failed to reach the semi-finals, with the 63-year-old referencing health and personal priorities in his reasoning.
Morocco has reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the second time, defending its new style with a disciplined counter-attack that secures a 1-0 win over Canada. The victory confirms Morocco as Africa’s first two-time World Cup knockout-stage qualifier, while raising questions about the direction under the new coach and past leadership.
France has eliminated Morocco 2-0 in Boston, with Mbappé scoring and setting up Dembele as they advance to the World Cup semi-finals. Morocco, chasing revenge after 2022, bows out but shows a young, improving side.
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.
