Lekjaa’s potential departure from the CAF Finance Committee would not signify a withdrawal from African football’s governing bodies. The FRMF president clarified this on Monday, November 9, during a Board of Directors meeting he chaired in Rabat.
According to a statement released after the meeting, Lekjaa explained that such a move would aim to strengthen Morocco’s presence on other crucial CAF committees.
In essence, this would be a redistribution of Morocco’s representation within CAF rather than a complete withdrawal. The FRMF’s account of his remarks indicates that the goal is to enable Morocco to continue contributing to the management and development of African football through other bodies within the continental organization.

As of now, no official resignation has been announced, nor has Lekjaa specified which committees might be involved in this potential change.
It is worth noting that the FRMF president holds several key positions within international football bodies. In addition to serving as a CAF vice president, he is a member of the FIFA Council.
During the same meeting, Lekjaa also discussed recent meetings between Moroccan football federation officials and representatives of FIFA and CAF, including Gianni Infantino and Patrice Motsepe. These meetings occurred on the sidelines of the Africa Futsal Cup of Nations and the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, both hosted by Morocco.
