In response to the increase of COVID-19 cases among football players and management members, the National Professional Football League (LNFP) decided to confine all Moroccan clubs to avoid the infection of the staff.
Under the decision, all Moroccan football clubs must stay in a hotel or sports center of their choice for the remainder of the season. Players, as well as technical and medical staff, can no longer visit their homes before the end of the league competitions.
