History
Morocco appeared the first in the Olympic games in 1964 when they lost against Hungary and Yugoslavia respectively by the scores of 6-0 and 3-1.
The second appearance was supposed to be during the 1968 in Mexico but Morocco refused to allow to its team to play against Israel because of some political problems. Then Ghana took the advantage and replaced Morocco in the final competition.
In 1972, Morocco reached the second round after a draw against USA and a win against Malaysia.
Morocco was very close to reach the Quarter final during the 2004 Summer Olympics but the goals difference was in the favor of Costa Rica after all the teams played their tree games. Morocco is qualified to the 2012 London Olympic games after beating Egypt 3-2 in the semi-finals of the African Cup under-23 on December 7, 2012.
Morocco had organized the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship and got qualified to the 2012 Summer Olympics after reaching the final game, then the olympic team lost against Gabon by the score of 2-1 at Marrakech Stadium.
