Patrice Motsepe, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), has called for the dossier on Morocco’s non-participation in the seventh edition of the African Championship for local players (Al-Chan) to be treated in a “fair and equitable” way. The Moroccan Football Federation announced the absence of the “Atlas Lions” from “Shane Algeria” prior to the start of the tournament, citing that the Algerian authorities did not allow the Moroccan delegation to provide a direct air route for transportation from Rabat to the city of Constantine.
Motsepe stated that, without entering into any political issues, he hopes that all countries participate in all African competitions. He also added that the CAF General Secretariat must investigate and make the necessary decisions regarding Morocco’s non-participation, and that all countries must comply with the laws of the CAF and FIFA. He further noted that Algeria has its sovereignty, and it is not possible to interfere in its decisions, and that the football body must stay away from any political calculation.
The CAF president also highlighted the importance of hosting the African Cup of Nations and providing opportunities for all CAF member states to develop their infrastructure. He reiterated that CAF will take an independent and reliable decision in credit to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after careful consideration, and that the 2027 edition will not be in the same region hosting the 2025 edition.
Motsepe praised Algerian fans and the country’s president, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, for their love and passion for football. He concluded by saying that the focus should be on how to use football to build people and unite Africa.
