Morocco Suspends Football Camp Amid Uncertainty Over CHAN Age Rules

The cancellation of the training camp would be due to the FRMF’s desire to obtain more details from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the next CHAN, before deciding on the age category that will participate in the competition, explains an official in a statement to Hesport. According to him, the FRMF is waiting to receive a response from CAF to determine if the participation will concern players born in 2000 and after, or if another category will be chosen depending on the information obtained.
