"Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou stated, 'We're focused on what's to come and not getting into that [topic]. The answer from us would be what our federation said, and that's all we're looking forwards.'"
"Supporter Yassine el-Aouak expressed, 'If someone says there are regulations, you have to follow them. I think we will bring the trophy home [eventually] we know that we deserve it.'"
"Another supporter, Taha El Hadiguy, remarked, 'The rules are the rules they are so clear, you go outside the pitch without any reason, you lose 3-0. It's very different to winning on the night of the final, to win two months later, but a win is a win.'"
Morocco believes their appeal against the 1-0 defeat to Senegal has closed the case for the AFCON title. The Confederation of African Football awarded Morocco a 3-0 victory due to Senegal players protesting a penalty. Morocco's new coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, led the team in a friendly against Ecuador, focusing on future expectations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Fans express confidence in the decision, emphasizing adherence to regulations. Morocco previously won the AFCON only once in 1976, and supporters feel justice has been served.
