The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) was fined a total of $315,000 last month, added to bans against two of its players.
In a statement, the FRMF said it would lodge an appeal “in order to preserve all rights guaranteed by the regulations”, citing “non-conformity of these sanctions with the extent and seriousness of the incidents that occurred”.
The AFCON final on January 18 took a series of dramatic turns from late in regular time when an Ismaila Sarr goal was disallowed for a foul on 2025 African player of the year Achraf Hakimi.
Morocco were then awarded a penalty when forward Brahim Diaz was fouled, sparking furious Senegalese protests.
Morocco missed the long-delayed penalty with a weak shot from Diaz saved by Edouard Mendy. The match then went to extra time and Pape Gueye scored to give Senegal a second AFCON title.
While play was halted over the disputed penalty, some Senegal supporters threw projectiles and others temporarily invaded the pitch before police and security staff intervened.
Morocco was fined $200,000 for the “inappropriate behaviour of the stadium ball boys”.
