Morocco participated in the Contest just once in 1980 in The Hague. Famous Moroccan singer Samira Bensaïd represented the country with the song "Bitaqat Khub" and finished in second-last place ahead of Finland. Their debut entry also marked the first time that Arabic was performed in the contest.
Following this poor result and a Royal decree by the country's sovereign, the country withdrew from competing in any further contests.
