History

In June 2008, Morocco took part in the inaugural Arab Cup in Abu Dhabi, also involving the national teams of Algeria, the UAE and Kuwait. Morocco's first game was a 9-0 loss to the UAE on 16 June 2008. The first ever goal to be scored by a Moroccan player was scored by Yassin Ahrazem against Kuwait during the first ever 2008 Arab Cup against Kuwait. On 22 May 2010, the IIHF announced that Morocco is now an associate member.[1]
