    History - Morocco have been playing rugby league since 1995. Morocco originally became involved in rugby league via French players of Moroccan decent.

     

    In 1995 Morocco took part in the Emerging Nations Word Cup. They finished last in their Pool and put rugby league on the map in Morocco.

     

    In 1999 Morocco played in pre-qualifiers for the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. Morocco beat Japan but could not overcome the Untied States missing out on a spot in the World Cup.

     

    Morocco also played in the Mediterranean Cup in 2003 & 2004. Morocco struggled and could not match it with the likes of France and Lebanon.

     

    In January 2008 the RLEF announced that the Maroc Rugby League will take over as the official body in Morocco. The new body will have closer links to French Rugby league and will look to work on local competitions and junior development. They have already made progress with a plan to have rugby league introduced into Moroccan Universities along the lines of the domestic competition in Lebanon.
