Casablanca will host a high-profile Davis Cup tie between Morocco and Colombia in early February, marking the tournament’s official return to the kingdom after an absence of more than two decades.
The playoff match, which will determine qualification for the Davis Cup World Group I, is scheduled for Feb. 7 and 8, 2026, at the Union Sportive Marocaine Tennis Club. Organizers expect more than 2,000 spectators to attend the two-day encounter.
In a statement, the organizing committee said the decision to stage the tie in Casablanca was deliberate and rooted in the city’s tennis history. Morocco last played a Davis Cup match at the venue in 2003, when it recorded a landmark 3-2 victory over Britain.
The upcoming fixture reflects the Moroccan Tennis Federation’s efforts to revive the national team’s profile and reconnect with a period when Casablanca played a central role in the country’s tennis achievements.
Morocco will be captained by former international player Hicham Arazi, one of the most prominent figures in the history of Moroccan tennis.
The Moroccan team enters the tie on the back of strong performances in the 2025 Davis Cup, having defeated Zimbabwe 4-0 and South Africa 4-1 in its most recent matches.
The winner of the Casablanca tie will secure a place in the Davis Cup World Group I, while the loser will remain outside the elite tier of the competition.
