The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) said in a press release that Faouzi Lekjaa, president of the federation, conducted a series of assessment meetings regarding the performance of the national football team in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast. 

Collaborating with national coach Walid Regragui, the discussions centered on the team’s preparations and outcomes in the competition.

The FRMF acknowledged the country’s sorrow and regret as the national team bowed out in the quarter-finals by expressing collective disappointment across the Moroccan football community. 

The evaluation pinpointed specific shortcomings, particularly in the crucial match against South Africa.

In a show of confidence, the FRMF renewed its trust in Walid Regragui to steer the team in the forthcoming phase, pledging full support to help Moroccan football reclaim its deserved prominence.

Lekjaa said that it’s imperative to persevere in efforts, urging unwavering commitment to elevate the national team and Moroccan football. 

This commitment aims to bring joy to Moroccan supporters in upcoming competitions, including the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and preparations for the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations, which Morocco will host. 

This dedication reflects the substantial support extended by King Mohammed VI to the realm of national football.

The statement also conveyed gratitude to the steadfast Moroccan supporters, both within and abroad, for their unwavering nationalistic spirit and significant sacrifices. 

Special commendation was reserved for those fans who journeyed to Ivory Coast. 

The FRMF called upon them to maintain their unity and fervent support for the national team as they confront the challenges of the 2025 Africa Cup and other upcoming competitions.
