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. On 22 May 2010, the IIHF announced that Morocco is now an associate member.[1]
