Moroccan Boxing Federation Dissolves Leadership After Olympic Disappointment

The Moroccan boxers were not up to the hopes placed in them. In a press release, the FRMB indicates that the emergency meeting dealt with the reasons that led to this unexpected failure, even though the boxers were put in the necessary conditions, and were even supposed to become millionaires if they returned with gold medals.

"By virtue of the prerogatives conferred on it by Article 24 of the FRMB statutes, it was decided, after an in-depth debate and with the approval of the members of the federal office, to dissolve the DTN, including all the staff in charge of the national teams, and to freeze all activities, until the holding of the ordinary general assembly scheduled for next September," the text adds.

The six boxers who were in the running, namely Mohamed Hammout (under 57 kg), Mohammed Assaghir (75-81 kg), Abdelhaq Nadir (57-63 kg), Rabab Cheddar (51 kg), Youness Baalla (81-91 kg) and Oumaima Bel Habib (69 kg) were all eliminated.
