Rabat – Morocco’s Football Federation (FRMF) and the National Professional Football League (LNFP) strongly condemned remarks made by sports analyst and former football player Hamza Bourazouk against Morocco’s national team and head coach Walid Regragui.
The statement described earlier statements made by Bourazouk as “false and imaginary.”
Bourazouk had claimed that Regragui deliberately called up three players from Wydad Casablanca, without using them in national team matches, to allow the club to have its matches postponed.
He made his remarks during one of the radio station’s broadcasts, in which he questioned the coach’s methods for selecting players.
In response to Bourazouk’s remarks, the FRMF and LNFP said that they strongly condemn such types of “inappropriate and baseless remarks.”
“Such statements seriously harm, in the first place, the person of the coach of the team, as well as all the components and institutions of the football world.”
FRMF condemned the remarks, saying that it has legitimate rights to use various regulatory channels to counter any harm to the image and reputation of the national team and leadership of coach Regragui and his staff.
Radio Mars apologized to the FRMF as well as the national football league and Regragui, describing the remarks made by Bourazouk as “irresponsible.”
