Moroccan wardrobe malfunction could cost Puma

06/04/2011
Morocco's minister for sport, Moncef Belkhayat, has become involved in a dispute between the country's football federation and national team kit supplier Puma.

He told Radio Mars that Morocco would have a new shirt supplier in place by January 1 2012, saying he was unhappy at having seen the number fall off the back of striker Youssef El Arabi's shirt during a recent match against Algeria.

El Arabi came on as a substitute during the match, only for the number to peel away from his shirt a few minutes later. "I didn't like what I was seeing," said the minister. "We cannot be satisfied with the quality of the equipment our team is being assigned."

Morocco lost the match 1-0.
