President of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Gianni Infantino hailed HM King Mohammed VI “for his enthusiasm and commitment to the development of Moroccan football”.

“Without the commitment of HM King Mohammed VI and the serious work carried out by the Moroccan Royal Football Federation as well as the commitment of the Moroccan government, we would not have been able to see the infrastructure that the various cities boast”, underlined Infantino at the end of his working visit to the Kingdom.

In a press release from the FRMF posted on its website, Infantino referred to the Mohammed VI Football Complex, noting that this center, one of the best in the world, is a true “work of art” and its construction mirrors the seriousness of Morocco and Moroccans in terms of football development.

The Complex is put at the disposal of FIFA, the African Football Confederation and federations around the world for the supervision of young people and referees, he recalled.

During his two-day visit to the Kingdom, the FIFA President was received by Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad Nasser Bourita, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Othman El Ferdaous and the FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa.

This visit, which is part of the consolidation of the solid relations between FIFA and the FRMF officials, also aims to develop cooperation between the two bodies in terms of the promotion of national and continental football.
