The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has announced that its elective general assembly will take place on December 12. This decision was made during a meeting of the federation's governing committee, led by president Fouzi Lekjaa. The assembly is a significant event for the federation, and it comes after a series of meetings between Lekjaa and high-ranking officials from FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Lekjaa emphasized the importance of these meetings, which took place during the recent Africa Futsal Cup of Nations and the U17 Women's World Cup. He also addressed rumors about his potential resignation from the CAF finance commission, stating that any such move would aim to strengthen Morocco's representation within other key CAF commissions. This would enable the country to continue contributing to various aspects of African football management and development.

Additionally, Abdessalam Belegchour, president of the National Professional Football League, presented a report on the current state of the top division championship.
