FIFA has a long-standing tradition of swift intervention when it detects political interference in sports within a country. The recent example is Cameroon, which faced suspension and subsequent reinstatement. The resolution required the establishment of a Standardization Committee to lift the sanctions.
Morocco is currently under scrutiny by the global football body. According to reports from Infomédiaire Maroc, FIFA has sent a letter to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), cautioning them about potential collusion with the Ministry of Youth and Sports. This intervention follows the FRMF’s decision to postpone scheduled elections for leadership positions within the local institution.
