Morocco has established five dedicated joint-stock companies to oversee the management, development, and commercial operation of its major sports infrastructure across the country’s key urban regions, as the kingdom accelerates preparations for co-hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2030. 7486 on February 26, 2026, the new entities are TangerRegionSport SA, CasaRegionSport SA, FesRegionSport SA, MarrakechRegionSport SA, and AgadirRegionSport SA. Each entity carries a share capital of 20 million dirhams, distributed through an identical ownership structure across all five companies. They are charged with managing, operating, and upgrading all sports infrastructure within their respective regions — particularly facilities earmarked for the 2030 World Cup — while ensuring compliance with international standards on quality, safety, and sustainability. FIFA’s requirements for the 2030 tournament have acted as a decisive accelerator, demanding a qualitative leap in how Morocco manages its sports assets.
