A US FBI delegation led by Douglas Olson and Kevin Kowalski is visiting Morocco from Jan. 4 to 6, 2026, to review the security and safety protocol used by the General Directorate of National Security during the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 finals.

The delegation inspected security arrangements at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat during Morocco’s match against Tanzania, including police deployment, monitoring procedures, drone and camera surveillance, and command centers.

It also visited the African Security Cooperation Center and joined a session assessing match security.

The program includes a tour of Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat ahead of Algeria’s match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, focusing on foreign fan entry controls and coordination with African police officers.

The visit was presented as part of U.S. interest in Morocco’s security experience and cooperation on risk assessment, emergency response and technology ahead of the 2026 and 2030 World Cups.
