Apparently politics has been getting involved, and not in a good way:

Strange carry on. I hope the efforts of the Moroccan league and the finances of the Lebanese don't going to waste because of this.

[Rabathos]

we played but we lost 30 Lebanon 26 Morocco

Thats not a bad result.

Thats not a bad result.

That's an excellent result against a team with far more experience. Well done Rabs and the rest of the Moroccan team.

you should guys know that we are a new players in 6 month we make a nice players but Congratulation to Lebanon Rugby League
and Congratulation to best Moroccan players
Half-time : Morocco 20 - Lebanon 4
Full-time : Morocco 26 - Lebanon 30

[deluded pom?]

Ouch! I see you managed to lose a decent halftime lead Rabs. Better luck next time. Any news on why the Moroccan government tried to stop the game being played?

[Rabathos]

hey guys , so the reason why exactly the governement stoped Mena is this : the Moroccan federation of Rugby league is a new one , it means we just have 6 month right now and the governement said we should have 2 years then we can play for the natoinal team of Morocco , but same as we played against Lebanon without no flag no natoinal Music , just like we are a team against them , same as we did a nice work and we was good as the players of Lebanon was shocked and nervous about us , we respect them because they have a experience but realy i like what they did applauds to us and tell us we did a great work against them , we are happy now and wait the moroccan players in the future

[EdinburghExile]

That makes sense. I was worried that there was some sort of negative influence in the government!

[Rabathos]

we just need to wait more time i would they find a solution for us , because we could realy play again more countries

[deluded pom?]

Just play games under the same circumstances as the Lebanon game until the two years are up. I'm sure everyone except the Moroccan government will recognise you as the official Morocco team.

[Rabathos]

If, after the 2 year period has passed, another spurious barrier is erected, we'll have a better idea. I think Morocco RL will have to take the current explanation at face value for now.Still, the match got played in the end, which is good.
