In a controversial move, the Moroccan Olympic Committee, chaired by Faisal Laraichi, has announced its decision to grant financial bonuses to all Moroccan athletes who participated in the Paris Olympic Games, despite the disappointing results achieved by the Moroccan delegation.
According to the decision, the gold medal winner will receive a bonus of 2 million dirhams, while the silver medalist will get 1.25 million dirhams, and the bronze medalist will be awarded 750,000 dirhams.
For team sports consisting of 2 to 4 members, each player in the gold-winning team will receive 1 million dirhams, 750,000 dirhams each for silver, and 500,000 dirhams each for bronze.
As for teams composed of five members or more, the bonuses will be as follows: 700,000 dirhams per athlete for gold, 500,000 dirhams for silver, and 400,000 dirhams for bronze.
The Moroccan Olympic Committee has not overlooked those who finished in fourth and fifth places. An individual athlete who finishes fourth will receive a bonus of 300,000 dirhams, while teams of 2 to 4 members will get 200,000 dirhams, and teams of five or more members will receive 150,000 dirhams.
For fifth place, an individual athlete will receive 275,000 dirhams, teams of 2 to 4 members will get 183,000 dirhams, while teams of five or more members will receive 138,000 dirhams.
This decision comes amid widespread criticism of the disappointing performance of Moroccan athletes in the Olympics, raising questions about the effectiveness of these bonuses and their impact on motivating athletes to achieve better results in the future. The decision is expected to spark a broad debate about sports support policies in Morocco and how to improve athletic performance at the international level.
