They requested that Mr Palacio open an immediate investigation and that he pronounce interim measures to prevent any repetition of such violations at the Semi-Final on Wednesday 14 December and at the Final of third place playoff next Saturday 17 December.
Africa News and other media showed the Moroccan team and officials posing with the Palestinian flag on the pitch immediately following their win over Spain.
TV cameras also showed a Palestinian flag being waved by Morocco's defender Jawad El Yamiq after his team's win against Canada on 1 December.
UKLFI pointed out that Article 11.2 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code says that anyone who uses “a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature” may be subject to disciplinary measures.
A further clause of the FIFA Stadium Safety and Security Regulations provides: “The promotion or announcement of political or religious messages or any other political or religious actions, inside or in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, by any means, is strictly prohibited before, during and after matches.”
The Disciplinary Code also specifies that “Associations and clubs, as well as their players, officials, and any other member and/or person carrying out a function on their behalf, must respect the Laws of the Game, as well as the FIFA Statutes and FIFA’s regulations, directives, guidelines, circulars, and decisions … ”
UKLFI chief executive Jonathan Turner told the JC: “By not respecting the regulations, the Moroccan players and officials themselves violated the Disciplinary Code. Political actions can provoke disorder so it is important to ensure that these Regulations are enforced.
"We hope that FIFA will address this urgently to ensure that the forthcoming games are not marred by further political demonstrations," he continued.
The JC has reached out to FIFA and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation for comment.
