African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

I’m not from Morocco, well I believe we should all have huge and massive respect and Africa should support Morocco because that is the only hope we have for anything meaningful at the World Cup, the last World Cup I was very impressed with the way Morocco played in that World Cup, they carried Africa on their Shoulders, this are part of the reason I think that Morocco is absolutely a great team, and that Senegal should return the Trophy because they’re absolutely a disgraceful country, they lacked discipline and no technical knowledge in the Football World, I’m also hoping they will be celebrating and Parading the Trophy at the World Cup.

There's nothing to be returned trust me. As much as the officials went on with the game that day, and not blow the final whistle when the Senegalese players left the pitch, any other decision take behind the scene is bullshit to us as Africans. Senegalese are the winners and we will forever have it that way. How can you brand them that way?! Well, that is your opinion and it is fine.

That Morocco is one big racist country, I was what the small kid did to Ronaldo after he was removed from the Word cup in 2022. The little girl make a mockery video and the whole country made a mockery until they were removed later.

I don't know of that but there is a Pan African Nationalist who is from Congo (Patrick Lumumba), I have seen him speaking about different African countries and he said, Morocco said they are not Africans and for that he doesn't like them again. But mins is not from that perspective but from their recent malbehaviour in the Cup of Nations yet CAF didn't see any of those but only saw Senegal walkout.
Oluwa-btc have spoken well.

If I wished there are Moroccans in this forum to see all these comments. I thought I am the only person has that feeling but we are many in the forum. I shouted a lot to support Morocco in the last World Cup and the full support came after they beat Portugal in the quarterfinal and was qualified in the semifinal. It was impressive, but I don't think that will happen again. There some African teams to support in the World Cup. Even though they will not go far.

I am not sure but I think Jostern is from Morocco. As for me, I’m not supporting any African team in the World Cup as that will only result in heartbreak and disappointment. I wish them well but I will be backing France to win the tournament. They have one of the best squads and have a rich football heritage. I’m confident France will make it to the World Cup final.

I have known you as someone who have been supporting Morocco since the African Cup of Nations and I don't have any issue with that because you have the right to support any country of your choice in the African Cup of Nations, but I find it disrespectful if you only want us to support Morocco in the world cup because you believe Morocco is the only country that will go far in the world cup because there are a lot of African countries that can also go far in the world cup, and in the case of CAF and Senegal, Senegal shouldn't return any trophy to CAF, and Senegal don't care if you see them as disgraceful country just because they have refused to listen to CAF stupid decision.

That Morocco performed well in the last World Cup, doesn’t mean we should fold our hands and support injustice. Whatever Morocco did in the last World Cup, they did it for their own good and didn’t do Africa football any favor. A time will never come when the entire Africa continent will support something that’s unjust. Where on earth do they win trophy inside a room? After their shameful hosting of AFCON they now think they can use money to buy the AFCON trophy. I guess they are the world first country to call themselves champion of Africa without a trophy. Morocco is a disgrace to African football.

Decisions taken behind the scene is invalid not only to Africans but even to football in general, there is a rule that allows the officiating referee to take decisions on the pitch after which counter decisions will not be effective after the game, only sanctions can be made for some inappropriate decisions and for a conclusion that has been made and the trophy given the team, they are and will forever be the winners to us, i doubt this has ever happened in Football history. Jostern calling Senegal a disgraceful country may be his or her opinion but it doesn't tell well of their opinion, you don't have to abuse an entire country just to make your point. Just to mention, Morocco is not the only hope Africa has got, even if they have a good team, football doesn't work that way.

What CAF did was bad, how can you make a decision of giving a cup that has been won by a country to another country, there are other sanctions that would have been better than doing this, I’m not in support of what they did, the reason why the Senegal players walked out of the pitch was suppose to be investigated but they didn’t and this is why African will continue be corrupt, that penalty that was been to Morocco was not suppose to be a penalty but because the ref was bias that was why he gave that penalty, it is very bad that African football is now this way, what I know is that Senegal lift the cup.

If we, as Africans, were to throw our massive support behind Morocco, would they appreciate the whole of Africa for their support and love towards them, rather than just the Arab nations? If I could remember, there was a time this same Morocco won their match in the last World Cup, some of the team players and fans dedicated to the Morocco match in the World Cup to Muslim and Arab nations. They didn't specifically dedicate it to Africa, it's Arab.

You now want Africa to do the same this time, to support Morocco, for them to later thank the Arab nations. Africans are not fools and I believe we don't forget things easily.

The Moroccans are never too proud to be African. Sorry to say this. They do feel like the superior tribe, which is bad.

[DiMarxist]

From the way that Morocco behaved in the last Nations cup which culminated into the disaster that we are seeing in Africa football as a whole, I don't think that Morocco is going to have thesame level of support that they used to have in the world cup as before. The truth is that Morocco behavior ranging from the fans, players and even the Moroccan FA is not acceptable Plus there is now this feeling and distrust among some African mostly the sub saharan Africa that CAF is in support of Morocco. Even if Morocco made it to the semi finals of the world cup that support from African countries will not be there as before. CAF may not know the damage they have done to Africa football it will be too late before they will realize their mistakes.

If every African football fan is to be fair enough, no body will support Morocco in this World cup because it is clear that CAF is their chief supporter and corruption is becoming too obvious in the African football because of them. The last AFCON will forever be remembered for the most obvious corruption in football history. I wish they would drop at group stage let everyone rest. I will prefer to support Senegal in this world cup because they are more coordinated and sincere. They finished top of their group too. So it's right to say that we have two good options and any body can support whoever he wants. The world will look out to see if CAF can influence the world cup which is very impossible.

What you are saying is not far fetched from the obvious but one thing you must understand is a fact that Morocco is a Muslim nation and as such they will always want to align with their religion, their Arab associate. We know it for a fact that in most of the African activities, they don't want to associate themselves with most Africans, if not for geographical location I don't think some of them are even proud to be part of Africa, if they had their way they would have just joined Europe and be called part of European country.

Morocco recent performances on the pitch have been strong, and they have earned respect for their organization, discipline, and results, in football, emotions can run high, and claims of bias or corruption often come up most especially after controversial moments, but it is also important to separate that from what the players actually do on the field. As for Confederation of African Football, criticism is not new, and fans have every right to question decisions. But the FIFA World Cup is a different stage entirely, with global scrutiny, making it very difficult for any regional body to influence outcomes. Supporting Senegal national football team is also a solid choice and they have been consistent and competitive.

It is commonly said that there is a thin line between love and hate, I never really understood that saying but the Morocco incedent have made me to now understand that phrase properly..
I can't forget the level of support Nigerians showered on Morocco in the last world cup, me and my friends inclusive, it was almost like it was Nigeria playing, and since then, I grew natural love for the Moroccan football team due to their outstanding performance in the previous world cup.

But fast forward to today, that love is completely gone and what has replaced it is hate for them, they did Africa dirty and it's all because of greed, a tournament that would have ran fairly and everyone will be happy was monopolized by Morocco with help from CAF and for the first time, I found no joy in nations coming together to play football, I hope Morocco lost woefully and shamefully in the coming world cup.
