The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has officially announced the relocation of its regional office from Paris, France, to Rabat, Morocco, in a move that reflects Morocco’s growing importance in the world of international football.
The new FIFA office will be established near the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Rabat, a modern sports facility that opened in 2019. This complex is an advanced center for football training and development, featuring numerous high-level facilities including football pitches, a sports medical center, and accommodation facilities.
This decision 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 new 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 revealed that the 2025 Finance Act includes a tax incentive system specifically designed to encourage FIFA’s 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 consider this move a reflection of Morocco’s commitment to strengthening 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.
