MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Moroccan Football Federation on Thursday complained to world soccer's governing body FIFA over what it said were a series of refereeing mistakes in their World Cup Group B matches against Portugal and Spain which led to their elimination.

The federation said the "serious referee errors" led to their early exit and that the video assistant referee (VAR) had been used or not used in order to serve the interests of their opponents.
