FIFA has officially opened a new office in Africa following a headquarters agreement signed with the Kingdom of Morocco on Monday.
This marks a significant step for the global football governing body as it strengthens its presence on the continent.
The new office, based in Rabat, Morocco, replaces FIFA’s previous office in Paris, which was shut down earlier this year.
FIFA’s regional offices play a crucial role in supporting national football federations by offering guidance and resources for the development of the sport within their respective territories.
Before the establishment of the Rabat office, FIFA maintained regional offices in four other African countries: Congo, Senegal, South Africa, and Rwanda.
The new Moroccan base is expected to further enhance FIFA’s support for African nations as it continues to foster football development across the continent.
This move signals FIFA’s ongoing commitment to the growth of football in Africa, a region with vast potential and passion for the sport.
By establishing a more direct presence in Morocco, FIFA aims to better serve African federations and improve infrastructure, talent development, and competitive football programs across the continent.
