“In view of the age-old fraternal relations binding the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Senegal, and on the occasion of the advent of Eid Al Adha, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, has graciously decided, on humanitarian grounds, to grant His Royal Pardon to Senegalese supporters convicted of offenses committed during the Africa Cup of Nations competitions organized by the Kingdom of Morocco from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.

Through this High Decision, His Majesty the King, may God glorify Him, attests to the depth of the strong bonds of friendship, fraternity and cooperation uniting the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Senegal. This Pardon further reflects the enduring cardinal values underpinning the Moroccan identity, foremost among them clemency, benevolence, generosity and the spirit of tolerance.

On the occasion of Eid Al Adha Al Moubarak, His Majesty the King extends His sincere wishes to His Brother, His Excellency President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, as well as to the Senegalese authorities and the brotherly Senegalese people.

May Almighty God preserve His Majesty the King, perpetuate His glory and strengthen His endeavors, and may He grant the Sovereign joy through His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, and all members of the Illustrious Royal Family.”
