Morocco will host the 7th edition of the FIFCO World Corporate Champions Cup in Fès from October 23 to 26, marking the first time the global corporate football tournament takes place in Africa, organizers said on Monday.
The announcement was made during a press conference in Casablanca by Smart Sport Consulting and the International Federation of Corporate Football (FIFCO), attended by media representatives and institutional partners.
FIFCO president Albert Zbily said the event reflects the federation’s confidence in Morocco’s ability to host major international competitions, citing the country’s dynamic sports and business ecosystem.
FIFCO, which promotes corporate football as a tool for cohesion and performance across 64 countries, brings together small, medium, and large enterprises in its global tournaments.
More than 20 teams from around the world, including representatives from Morocco, the United States, Brazil, Nigeria, France, India, and Saudi Arabia, will compete at the Maracana Sports Complex in Fès.
According to local organizing committee head Otmane Benhlima, the event is expected to generate significant economic and tourism benefits for the Fès-Meknès region, with more than 1,500 hotel nights booked, 3,000 meals served, and local transport, hospitality, and craft sectors mobilized.
Cultural tours and business meetings will also connect Moroccan and international firms, boosting Fès’s visibility as a hub for corporate sports and international events.
