As Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal, the development and training of national coaching talent emerges as a key pillar in the country’s comprehensive strategy. This preparation is not limited to infrastructure and logistics but extends to ensuring a high level of technical performance that meets the global standards of the tournament.
Enhancing the capabilities of Moroccan coaches has become an urgent priority, especially considering the significant transformations in modern football. Today’s game demands a deep understanding of technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects, as well as the ability to utilize technology and data analytics in performance evaluation—skills that are now indispensable for coaches at the international level.
In this context, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has launched a series of training programs for local coaches in collaboration with FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF). These initiatives include licensing courses (A, B, and Pro licenses) and specialized workshops in areas such as video analysis, sports nutrition, and youth development coaching.
FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa previously emphasized that “Morocco’s ambition for the 2030 World Cup goes beyond infrastructure; it is also about building a qualified human capital in the sports sector.” He added that equipping Moroccan coaches with modern training tools will help nurture a generation of players capable of competing at the highest levels.
A report from the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) highlighted Morocco as one of the most advanced African nations in sports training. However, the report also noted that continuous investment in coach education, particularly in youth categories, remains essential, as youth development forms the foundation of any successful football project.
Sports training experts agree that Morocco, as a host nation, must build an “integrated football ecosystem” that includes the coach, the player, the infrastructure, and the educational and social environment. The local coach, in this vision, should become an ambassador of a new Moroccan football culture—one that blends European discipline with African creativity.
The International University of Sports Sciences (IUCS) recommends linking academic training with practical field experience and adopting modern coaching models grounded in innovation and technology. Morocco has already begun to implement this approach through the Mohammed VI Football Academy and a network of regional training centers.
Ultimately, investing in the development of Moroccan coaches is not an option—it is a strategic necessity in the lead-up to the 2030 World Cup. It is a step toward building a qualified workforce capable of keeping pace with the game’s evolution and preparing a national team ready to write a new chapter in the history of global football.
