Royal Moroccan Football Federation

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (RMFF) is the governing body of football in Morocco. It is currently newsworthy due to two main reasons: its involvement in the controversial 2026 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final and its role as a co-host for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The AFCON final between Senegal and Morocco was marred by a walk-off protest, leading to fines and bans for players and coaches from both teams. Senegal has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision to award the title to Morocco. Separately, Morocco is co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. While the Royal Spanish Football Federation president claims Spain will host the final, Morocco is vying to host the final match in Casablanca. The RMFF's involvement in these high-profile events underscores its significance in both African and global football.
