CAF president to visit Morocco after Senegal trip
Wednesday 8 April 2026 - 20:46

CAF President Patrice Motsepe is due in Morocco on Thursday for an official visit expected to include talks in Rabat with Royal Moroccan Football Federation President Fouzi Lekjaa and other figures involved in the national game.

The visit is expected to conclude with a news conference in the Moroccan capital at 5 p.m. local time, in what would mark Motsepe’s first appearance before Moroccan media since the fallout from the Africa Cup of Nations final and the appeals committee ruling awarding Morocco a 3 to 0 victory following Senegal’s withdrawal.

The Morocco stop follows a visit by the South African football official to Senegal on Wednesday, where he met President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Senegalese Football Federation President Abdoulaye Fall.

CAF and the Moroccan federation are expected to provide further details on the visit’s program and objectives, with the Africa Cup final dispute likely to feature prominently in the agenda.
