The president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, has publicly stated that Morocco's legal position is strong ahead of an upcoming hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The case relates to a dispute with FIFA, though the specific subject of the appeal was not detailed in his public remarks.
Lekjaa made his comments in a statement reported by Moroccan media, asserting, "The law is on our side before the CAS." He expressed confidence in the Moroccan federation's legal arguments but did not provide further specifics on the nature of the dispute or the timeline for the CAS proceedings.
The CAS, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the international body responsible for resolving legal disputes in the world of sport. Cases typically involve appeals against decisions made by international sports federations like FIFA.
As of early April 2026, no official ruling from the CAS on this specific matter has been announced. The FRMF has not released additional details regarding the case, and FIFA has not issued a public comment on the pending arbitration.
