Marrakech is set to host the 2013 edition of Foot Expo from December 12 to 15. This international exhibition serves as a significant platform for professional football players and experts to discuss topics crucial to the development of African football. The focus for this edition will particularly center on training and professionalization.
The selection of Morocco as the host country holds significance, as it will host the FIFA Club World Cup for the next three years (in 2013 and 2014), the IAAF Continental Cup in September 2014, and the U17 Africa Cup of Nations (in 2013 and the senior edition in 2015).
The event is expected to attract specialized sports communications agencies, the sports press, media broadcasters specializing in sports and football, and various stakeholders engaged in the sports industry over the four-day gathering.
