The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) is embroiled in a protracted legal battle with former national team coach Elhadji Ibrahima Thiam, who is contesting his 2017 dismissal. The case, which has seen multiple appeals, centers on allegations of wrongful termination and unpaid compensation.
Recent reports and commentary from the coach's camp accuse the federation of employing dilatory tactics to prolong the judicial process. The FRMF has consistently defended its position, stating it has acted within its contractual and legal rights. The dispute has been heard in Moroccan courts for nearly a decade.
While the specific financial claims and counterclaims are detailed in court documents, the core issue remains unresolved. The case highlights the complex intersection of sports management and employment law in international football. No final ruling from the highest judicial authority had been reported as of late April 2026.
