The country was banned from the tournaments by CAF after refusing the host the 2015 African Cup of Nations due to fears of Ebola fears in the country.
But after an appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the ruling made by the Confederation of African Football.
The Court for Arbitration for Sport also reduced a fine imposed on Morocco's FA (FRMF) from $1m to $50,000.

It has however been reported that CAF's order for FRMF to pay $8.7m in damages 'may be examined by another jurisdiction'.
CAF claims it suffered final losses because of the relocation of the 2015 finals from Morocco to Equatorial Guinea - only two months before the start of the event.
