The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), in partnership with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), held the second edition of the “Protection in Football” workshop from June 2 to 6, 2025, at the Mohammed VI Football Complex.
The initiative is part of FIFA’s ongoing commitment to continuous training and education within the football community. According to a statement from the Moroccan federation, the workshop aimed to strengthen efforts to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all individuals involved in the sport—particularly children—by focusing on preventing abuse and mitigating risks.
The five-day session brought together 30 participants representing several French-speaking national federations, who engaged in intensive training led by international experts in sports protection. The workshop featured interactive sessions, open discussions, and the analysis of real-life case studies, all designed to highlight the daily challenges football institutions face in ensuring player safety and ethical standards.
This event aligns with FIFA’s broader strategy to raise awareness among federations and clubs about the importance of adopting institutional policies centered on human dignity, rights protection, and participant safety at all levels of the game.
The workshop reinforced FIFA’s commitment to making “protection” a core pillar in the future of football, aiming to set a global benchmark for ethical practices across the sport.
