Morocco will no longer bid to host future African football tournaments, according to the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa. Lekjaa stated the nation will not submit any further candidacies for continental competitions, leaving the opportunity open to other African countries. This decision represents a significant shift in Morocco’s sporting policy, as the country has been a frequent and active bidder for major African events in recent years. Morocco has both hosted and sought to host numerous tournaments, establishing itself as a key player in African football administration. The announcement signals a change in priorities for the nation’s football federation. Lekjaa’s statement indicates a willingness to allow other countries to take on the responsibility and costs associated with hosting these large-scale events. The reasons behind this policy change have not been detailed.
