The match between Morocco and Liberia is officially postponed

Last night, Morocco suffered one of the most tragic earthquakes in its history. More than 800 people lost their lives in a magnitude 7 earthquake that struck several towns in the country.

The Moroccan FA then made an official request to postpone the match against Liberia, which was due to take place on Saturday evening (21:00 GMT+2) as part of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

This request was heeded by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which reached an agreement with the FRMF earlier today, as announced by the Moroccan Federation: "Following the earthquake that has affected certain regions of Morocco, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announces the postponement of the match that was due to take place on the evening of Saturday 9th September 2023, between the national team and its Liberian counterpart, in the final round of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers - Cote d'Ivoire - until a later date, in agreement with the Confederation of African Football."

"After this serious injury, the national football family offers its most sincere condolences to the families of the victims, and wishes a speedy recovery to all those injured," concluded the statement.
