In a statement published on its website, the FRMF recalls that its Board of Directors, meeting on December 27, 2022, had taken a decision on Morocco’s participation in CHAN 2022, to ensure the travel of the Moroccan national team from Rabat to Constantine aboard a RAM flight.
Following its request for authorization of a RAM flight from Rabat to Constantine, the FRMF was informed on December 22, 2022 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), as the body in charge of the organization of CHAN 2022, that an authorization in principle had been obtained, the statement said.
On the basis of this authorization in principle, the FRMF communicated the details of the plan and the flight coordinates of the Moroccan team in order to obtain the final authorization of the RAM flight from Rabat to Constantine and continued the preparation of the trip and the participation of the Moroccan team in the CHAN, particularly the training course at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé from January 6 to 10 during which two friendly matches were played against Ethiopia, the same source specified.
While the trip of the Moroccan team from Rabat to Constantine is organized by the FRMF and the start of the CHAN is scheduled for January 13, 2023, i.e. in 24 hours, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation “notes with regret that the final authorization of the RAM flight from Rabat to Constantine has unfortunately not yet been confirmed by the CAF,” the statement concluded.
