In a statement published on its website, the FRMF was outraged by the “provocative and surreal speech that has flouted the rules governing the organization of soccer events under the auspices of the Confederation of African Football (CAF)”.
“The FRMF rejects the racist remarks made by fans present at the opening ceremony against the Moroccan public known throughout the world for its civic-mindedness,” the statement added, adding that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has sent a letter to CAF which is called upon to “assume full responsibility for these flagrant transgressions that have no link with the principles and values of football”.
