The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) announced on Thursday 15 December that it had seized “ the competent body “(without naming her) to challenge the arbitration of the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup, lost 2-0 by the Atlas Lions against France on Wednesday. In its press release, the FRMF returns to two arbitration decisions “ having deprived the Moroccan selection of two indisputable penalties in the opinion of several specialists “. It targets the action in the 27th minute when Sofiane Boufal and Théo Hernandez came into contact in the area, and where the referee, the Mexican César Arturo Ramos, issued a warning to the Moroccan. The federation also criticizes the absence of a penalty whistled before the break, when Youssef En-Nesyri found himself on the ground after a collision with Aurélien Tchouaméni. The FRMF is surprised that video arbitration ” did not react to these situations “. His appeal has virtually no chance of succeeding.
