Morocco's under-17 national team has reportedly filed a formal complaint with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following their elimination by Senegal in a recent tournament. The complaint alleges irregularities in the match officiating and procedural issues that may have affected the outcome.
According to sources close to the Moroccan football federation, the complaint was submitted on June 5, 2026, citing specific incidents during the match that the team believes warrant review. The federation has not publicly detailed the exact nature of the allegations but has called for a transparent investigation.
CAF has acknowledged receipt of the complaint and stated that it will be reviewed according to its disciplinary procedures. No timeline for a decision has been announced. Senegal's football federation has declined to comment on the matter, pending the official process.
This development comes amid heightened tensions in youth football competitions, where disputes over officiating have occasionally arisen. The outcome of the complaint could have implications for future matches and tournament integrity.
