“The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) strongly protested against the arbitration of the Morocco-France match officiated by Mr. Cesar Arturo Ramos”, says the official statement.

The FRMF says it has sent a letter to Fifa regarding two indisputable penalties. The statement adds: “The FRMF also expressed its great astonishment that the Video Assistance to Arbitration (VAR) system did not react to these… situations.”
