The President of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, paid a working visit on Friday to the FIFA Africa headquarters in Rabat.
On this occasion, Infantino visited the FIFA training program workshop for female coach educators, held at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, according to a statement from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
Following this, the FIFA President held meetings with the presidents of the football federations of Senegal, South Sudan, Rwanda, Gabon, and Tunisia, focusing on ways to develop football across the African continent, the same source added.
In a video published on the official FRMF website, Infantino emphasized the importance of the seminar for women’s football educators in Africa, organized at the Mohammed VI Football Complex. He affirmed that Morocco, a “great footballing and host nation,” has all the infrastructure needed to contribute to the development of African football.
Moreover, the FIFA President expressed his satisfaction at holding meetings with several African federation presidents, focused on strategies to further develop African football and solidify its place on the international stage. This comes in the context of Morocco’s upcoming hosting of the U17 Women’s World Cup, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal.
“I am happy to be in Morocco, at the FIFA Africa headquarters, for some intense and highly productive days,” he concluded.
