Morocco has submitted a fresh complaint to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following their 2-1 semi-final loss to Senegal at the 2026 U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco. The match, played on June 4, 2026, at the Stade El Abdi in El Jadida, saw Senegal advance to the final.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) alleges that the match officials made several controversial decisions that impacted the result. According to sources, the complaint focuses on a disallowed goal for Morocco and a penalty awarded to Senegal in the second half. CAF has confirmed receipt of the complaint and is reviewing the matter.
This is not the first time Morocco has challenged CAF decisions during this tournament. Earlier, the FRMF had protested scheduling and officiating in group stage matches. The U17 AFCON serves as a qualifier for the FIFA U17 World Cup, with the top four teams advancing.
