Rumors of a return of French coach Hervé Renard at the head of the Moroccan national team to replace Walid Regragui, coach of the Atlas Lions after the participation of Achraf Hakimi and his teammates in the Olympic Games to be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11 are false. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) does not intend to dismiss the Moroccan technician.
Hervé Renard , the coach of the French women’s team until the 2024 Paris Olympics, has clear ambitions for his future: to lead a men’s national team at the 2026 World Cup. And why not the Moroccan one?
The president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa, has again spoken about the date of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco , stating that the competition will not take place "at the same time as the Club World Cup".
Morad Moutaouakkil, spokesperson for the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), denies rumors of a rift between the star of the Turkish club Galatasaray Hakim Ziyech and the Spanish-Moroccan attacking midfielder of Real Madrid Brahim Diaz during, before and after the friendly match between Morocco and Angola at the Grand Stadium of Agadir, which ended in a narrow victory for the Atlas Lions over the Black Antelopes (1-0).
The president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, commented on the case of Lamine Yamal who decided last year to play for Spain instead of Morocco. He also spoke about the choice of Brahim Diaz who recently agreed to join the Atlas Lions.
Summoned by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the Liège-born Moroccan, Ilyès Bennane , a Genk player, will soon make his debut with Morocco.
One of the reasons that led Brahim Diaz to choose to play for Morocco is undoubtedly the possibility of participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. To realize this dream, the Real Madrid striker should obtain the prior agreement of his club.
The case of Brahim Diaz, who has decided to play for the Moroccan team instead of La Roja, brings back to the fore the healthy rivalry that has always existed between the two countries regarding the recruitment of dual nationals.
The Brahim Diaz saga is coming to an end. The Real Madrid star has chosen to play for Morocco, to the detriment of Spain, which has not shown a firm interest in the player.
Meknes could have its big stadium in the perspective of the World Cup, co-organized by Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Negotiations are underway with the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa, announced deputy Jaouad Chami.
A Spanish media regrets that Brahim Diaz will probably end up choosing to join the Atlas Lions to the detriment of La Roja, blaming the Spanish federation for having neglected the Real Madrid midfielder at a time when Morocco has multiplied initiatives to try to convince him.
The partnership between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the fast food chain, McDonald’s, has sparked lively controversy among Moroccan Internet users. The latter have a hard time understanding that Morocco is associating with this American brand that they have been boycotting since the beginning of the war in Gaza due to allegations of its support for Israel.
