[3] Morocco is a founding member of the Confederation of African Rugby (CAR), which was launched in January 1986.
[3] Like many other Maghrebi nations, Moroccan rugby tended to look to Europe for inspiration, rather than to the rest of Africa.
The game became more firmly established in the 1950s, partly through the efforts of Mohammed Benjaloun, who would become president of the Moroccan Olympic Committee.
[3] For a while, Morocco originally came under European rugby auspices, but is now integrated into the African structure.
After falling down the rankings, Morocco left the European series and joined the African Cup competition and won it in 2003 and 2005.
