They should Bleep off the African continent and all African competitions altogether! Simply because Senegal and the rest of the world resisted the brazen attempt by the disgraceful CAF to hand them the Nation's Cup on a platter just for hosting it!! It's become glaring that Morocco and its present generation of Gen-z players kind of think themselves as superior to Africa and would rather be elsewhere! They should quit Africa and migrate to wherever that suits them and leave us the Bleep alone! Imagine Morroco looking down on Africa, especially the black part of Africa, which is all but the whole Africa! It's not their fault though! Just imagine the types of leaders in black Africa, especially Nigeria, where bandits and outlaws have almost brought g the country to its knees while the very people who are supposed to stop the nonsense are busy cashing out from the very activities threatening to destroy the country! Damn!!!

Did he accept the fact that Morocco frustrated other teams by disturbing their goalkeepers, stealing their towels?
He never did.

Africa doesn't need stupid nations to host tournaments. South Africa too must not be allowed to host any tournament in Africa.

Football is a game of love and hostile nations should fkkkk off.

If you don't host it, Nigeria will host it with their sandy uneven green pitches. The quality you do not provide will lead to the horrible showpiece you will get.

Now, six months since the most successful tournament in CAF history, Morocco has decided it is no longer interested in hosting a tournament for the continent.
Is this true - CAF History? Anyway, the article seems to be written by a Moroccan media.

The third issue was that they refused to train with the Moroccan national team,” he added.

Morocco 🇲🇦 has tried. I believe Nigerians talking rubbish here about Morocco 🇲🇦 should tell Nigeria government to submit a bid to host the games. Let’s check something. Nigerians should learn to keep shut in some matters because Nigeria is dead. No foreigners will risk coming to anywhere in Nigeria. So Nigerians should be mute internationally.

Na so Morocco dey behave. They are not a part of the African Union (AU). They have been waiting for almost 30yrs to join the European Union instead.

Where are you guys coming from this morning?

What else 'lumped' the North Africa to the rest of the Africa if not the vast Sahara desert? What separates them from Europe and Asia if not the Mediterranean and Red Sea?

Aren't those elements of physical geography?

So what poor knowledge in saying Geography lumped them to Africa?

The North Africa is culturally, linguistically, and even historically distinct from sub-Saharan Africa. So what else makes them be classified as Africans if not Geography?

Some of you really have very poor knowledge and are always eager to show it online.
Your poor knowledge is that you don't know the original peoples of North Africa.

I am sure you don't know that the distinctive Y-chromosome marker common in West African and Black American men was found in the DNA extracted from the Egyptian Boy King Tutakhamun.

I am sure you don't know a man called Cheick Anta Diop. Or that his work made UNESCO declare in 1974 that Egypt (KEMET) was a black civilisation.
You certainly don't know the 100 years that Nubians were Pharaohs in Egypt.

I can't imagine you know that the Pharoah mentioned by name in the Bible, 2 Kings, Pharoah Taharqa/Tirhakah, 690-664 BC, was a black man.

Knowledge written in research journals does not interest our people. Most don't even know such exists.
Re: Morocco Will No Longer Submit Bids To Host African Competitions - Fouzi Lekjaa by Ajsmart(m): 3:28pm On Jun 14
Great decision. Rigging tournaments just because Morocco hosted them is downright evil and should never be entertained by African nations. They’re not the only country capable of organizing continental tournaments.
Re: Morocco Will No Longer Submit Bids To Host African Competitions - Fouzi Lekjaa by shegoon: 3:36pm On Jun 14
I'm not surprised of Morocco antics and attitudes, they have shown these in the past.Their cordial/sour relationship with fellow Arab nations is also questionable and an evidence

They withdrew their membership from OAU in 1984 before they rejoined in 2017. Findings also revealed their attempts to be part of ECOWAS which has not been approved my the ECOWAS body.

Lekjaa: Morocco Will No Longer Submit Bids to Host African Competitions
Fouzi Lekjaa


Rabat – The President of Morocco’s Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, said in an interview that Morocco will no longer submit bids to host African competitions.

“Starting today, Morocco will no longer submit any bids to host African competitions, regardless of their nature. If other countries wish to organize them, we wish them the best,” Lekjaa said in his new interview with Al Jazeera 360.

Lekjaa denied privileges or advantages, stating that what they describe as advantages consists of hosting competitions that no other country wants to organize.
The FRMF President also addressed various topics, including the controversial AFCON final against Senegal.

Morocco endured shocking events and a hate campaign during and following the AFCON final against Senegal on January 18. The event unfolded following Senegal’s walk-off, which changed the course of the tournament. The walk-off, triggered by Pape Thiaw, sparked vandalism, with Senegalese fans attempting to storm the pitch and hooliganism.

Now, six months since the most successful tournament in CAF history, Morocco has decided it is no longer interested in hosting a tournament for the continent.

Addressing the AFCON controversies, Lekjaa also answered questions regarding Senegal’s criticism over security during the tournament.

Lekjaa said Senegal never complained about anything before the AFCON final.
“On the contrary, their federation president even said the stadium was world-class, and everything was perfect,” Lekjaa said.

Lekjaa said the Senegalese federation issued a communiqué in which they announced their team would arrive in Rabat at a certain time, which triggered fans to come to cheer for them.
This led to fans surrounding the team, with the Senegalese federation claiming there was a lack of security to protect their team.

Morocco, however, has launched a strong campaign strengthening security protection around all stadiums and host cities to ensure protection for both teams and fans.
Lekjaa said Morocco’s security does not need praise, as the country already has a strong reputation among international partners who recognize the country’s strengths.


He also paid tribute to Moroccan fans who showed wisdom, especially during the final against Senegal.

He recalled Senegal’s complaints against their hotel, which was assigned to them by CAF.
“We changed it for them. The third issue was that they refused to train with the Moroccan national team,” he added.


What influence?

Lekjaa firmly denied claims that suggest Morocco exerts “disproportionate influence” within the Confederation of African Football (CAF). He emphasized that Morocco has no single employee within the federation and no effective representation in its committees.

“What influence are you talking about?” he continued, saying that his role as head of CAF’s finance committee was given to him due to his professional background in the sector.

Now I see where your problem stems from.

Is the discussion about the people presently in North Africa or the land itself?

When I said Geography lumped them to Africa, was I talking about how the people got there?

Are the people presently there not culturally closer to the Arabs than the sub Saharan Africa?

Again , is it wrong to say elements of physical geography like the Sahara desert and the sea forced them to be classified as Africa as it is presently?

You have a very poor comprehension skill that makes you find fault where there's none.

I won't dignify you with a response further.

I will write just in case those like you are reading who believe the world began yesterday. Or worship Arabs.

If they can't live with people they migrated to meet on African continent, they should deport themselves back to Arabia.

I don't care what their current culture is or what it's not.

The Sahara is not a divisive geographical feature. It is part of Africa. From when much of it was a sea to when it was a lush tropical forest (as documented by archaeologists). It was and is still Africa. Having visited much of North Africa, nothing you will tell me about the area.

Nonsense talk! You should have apologized for all the towel incidents first before going on your tirade to spew nonsense. Don't host? Africa would be happy and towels safe.

He responded to you that way because you were claiming or implying that North Africa had no historical black majority presence, which it did for tens of thousands of years up till around a thousand years ago when the Arab Jihadist invasions of 7 AD began.

Prior to that, all of Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia. Morocco etc, were Black African.

North Africa is the same as the rest it Africa. You have a poor knowledge of History. They wiped out the original Africans and intermarried with the rest. Using Islam. They are from the Arabian Penisula. Real North Africans do not look like them. There is nothing like subsaharan Africa. Africa is Africa. Does Europe stop being Europe because there is an Ocean between countries?

They are not the first host country to lose a final. They should stop making noise about this and let all of us rest.

To think I use to rate them as the most accommodating North African country and now they are showing that Arab entitlement spirit is still in them....they should behave on time before the rest of Africa do to them what we are about to do to those clowns in the south of the continent.
there's this proberb, the lizard can only enter a wall that has crack.
