In a chat with Legit.ng, a football analyst, Joseph Ofejiro Bilabi, shared what he noticed about the conduct of the Moroccans during the tournament.
He said:
"The 2025 Afcon competition, held in Morocco, is a stark reminder of how even brief moments of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, and unfairness, within 90 minutes, can overshadow and destroy years of planning & large moments of beauty, tourism & spectacle.
"While Morocco was lauded for hosting an almost flawless tournament purely from the perspective of infrastructure, amenities, and hospitality, it is the ugly spats of unsportsmanlike behaviour, entitlement & even intimidation from fans and match officials during Morocco's games that cast a heavy cloud of shame on the whole tournament.
"Now, instead of the world celebrating the beautiful cities of Marrakesh, Rabat and Casablanca, accentuated by a unique Moroccan culture and a wave of hospitality that embraced fans and spectators across Africa, everyone is talking about how Moroccan fans and officials tainted the events with uncouth behaviour.
"From ball boys and match officials on the sidelines, trying to intimidate and visibly distract opposition goalkeepers, to questionable officiating punctuated by obvious bias towards the host nation, the world saw the Moroccan fans and by implication, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), as the villain that brought the beautiful sport to disrepute on African soil.
"However, it is pertinent to add that, outside the heat & emotions of the 90 minutes whenever the host nation was on action, the Moroccans reiterated their identity as a people of great hospitality, camaraderie, and cultural fecundity."
AFCON: Reactions trail Senegalese man’s video to Moroccans

"People saying Morocco “isn’t African” is just jealousy. Morocco is clearly one of the most developed countries in Africa - the infrastructure, roads, transport, cities, safety, tourism and overall standard are on another level. Compared to other all African countries, Morocco is more organised and advanced in pretty much every aspect."
@saraamzough said:
"How about hosting the upcoming afcon and do half what Morocco did? then will talk!"
@Kelvin said:
"I was for Morocco till I saw the way they were cheating."
@Mondomarco said:
"The whole world was supporting Senegal not just Africa."
@hyweerweljih said:
"There is hate? As a moroccan i got bad mouthed and got called fake african so thats my experience."
@BERSERION said:
"I’m proud to be Moroccan. I’m proud to be African. I’m proud to be seen as one of them. I’m grateful to Allah (SWT) for a people I can call family. All this hatred needs to stop. We should be happy for whoever wins. Let’s also remember why AFCON exists—to witness so many strong soldiers. Every single player in AFCON was incredible. Most importantly, not only did Senegal win, but the whole AFCON won as one."
@h.c.h.c said:
"We was rooting for Senegal too however, we still believe Morocco has a lot of hate and jealousy towards us whether you think so or not and no matter what we believe Moroccans are the champions."
