The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has issued a formal statement following the conclusion of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) final, which saw Morocco crowned champions. The federation's reaction centers on events that led to a match interruption.
In its communication, the FRMF stated it had consistently demanded the "strict application of the regulations governing the competition" from the moment of the initial incidents. This refers to a significant stoppage during the final match against CΓ΄te d'Ivoire, reportedly due to a power outage at the stadium.
The federation's stance underscores a procedural dispute regarding how the match was managed and ultimately concluded. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has acknowledged the incident but upheld the match result, confirming Morocco's 2-1 victory.
The FRMF has not indicated plans for a formal appeal but has placed its statement on record, highlighting its position on regulatory adherence for future tournaments.
