As the day of the decisive game between the Moroccan national football team and the national football team of Kenya gets closer more and more voices in Morocco are calling to name a European referee for this match. The encounter, part of the qualification games of both World Cup 2006 and the African Cup, is scheduled to take place on June 18 in Rabat.

 

<i>Yabiladi</i> reports that while some in Morocco feel that the national team has been the victim of too many mistakes, made by referees, FIFA should send one of its best international referees to the game, other claim that everyone can make mistakes and that by such a request Morocco actually damages the reputation of African referees, of whom Moroccan referees are also part.
