The organizing committee of the 2025 COSAFA Cup has announced that the Moroccan national team has withdrawn from the upcoming edition of the tournament, which is set to take place in Bloemfontein, South Africa, from June 4 to 15.
According to the official statement, Morocco will be replaced by the Tanzanian national team. Tanzania is scheduled to play its first match on June 7 against Madagascar, followed by a second match against Eswatini on June 11.
The reason for Morocco’s withdrawal was not disclosed. The tournament had been viewed as an opportunity for the Moroccan team to test new players and prepare for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is reserved for home-based players.
Morocco had been invited as a guest nation outside the COSAFA zone (which includes teams from Southern Africa) and was set to compete in Group C.
