In a move reflecting Morocco’s growing importance in the world of international football, informed sources have revealed that the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) is preparing to open a new regional office in the Kingdom of Morocco.
This step comes as part of FIFA’s strategy to expand its global presence and enhance cooperation with national associations in various regions of the world. The office is expected to play a pivotal role in developing football in North Africa and the Middle East.
In a related context, Moroccan government sources disclosed that the 2025 Finance Bill (PLF2025) includes a system of tax incentives specifically designed to encourage FIFA activities in the kingdom. These incentives aim to create a favorable environment for the international organization’s operations and attract more investments in the football sector.
Experts view this move as reflecting Morocco’s commitment to enhancing its position as a regional and global sports hub, especially in the wake of its success in hosting several major sporting events and its national team’s qualification to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
The opening of FIFA’s regional office in Morocco is expected to strengthen cooperation between the international federation and the Moroccan Football Association, potentially opening new horizons for developing the game at both local and regional levels.
It’s worth noting that the full details regarding the nature of the tax incentives and the specific location of the regional office have not yet been disclosed, and are expected to be officially announced in the coming weeks.
This development is seen as a positive step towards enhancing football infrastructure in Morocco and the region as a whole, which may contribute to raising the level of the game and increasing opportunities to host more international tournaments in the future.
