"The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has threatened to boycott the upcoming African Nations Championship unless host country Algeria agrees to its requests

 

FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa is demanding that a direct Royal Air Maroc flight is set up from Rabat to Constantine, where the Moroccan national team is due to play its group matches.

Algerian authorities have previously closed its airspace to Morocco and remains adamant in its stance.

"We are only obliged to provide transport for the participating teams within the national territory," said Organising Committee President Rachid Oukali, explaining that it was not the body's responsibility to provide direct flights, as reported by Atalayar.

"Most of the African countries coming to Algeria will have stopovers."

The Moroccan National Press Council has also sent a letter to President Patrice Motsepe of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) asking for Algeria to guarantee Moroccan journalists the freedom of the press, freedom of expression and human rights at the Championship."

The referee really needs to start getting a grip on this match, the Argentinian talking is getting out of hand now..

For the last 50 years FIFA have always made sure they have a referee for the final who will not make brave decisions.

    • So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

    • It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
