Morocco is set to officially adopt 5G internet service ahead of the 2030 World Cup. The project was discussed during the second meeting of the National Committee for Digital Development.
Highly informed source from the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform speaking to Hespress Ar, the meeting chaired by Head of the Government Aziz Akhannouch and attended by Ghita Mezzour, the Minister Delegate for Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, focused on the National Committee for Digital Development.
The meeting featured a presentation on “General Trends for Digital Development – Morocco Digital 2030,” which addressed the adoption of 5G internet service in the kingdom.
The same source emphasized that “Morocco will officially adopt 5G service in the medium term, meaning before hosting the 2030 World Cup.”
Responding to the question about whether 5G was a separate strategy from the committee’s work, the source stated, “this strategy is collaborative as the meeting came after a series of discussions led by Minister Mezzour with all committee members, public and private sectors, professional associations, and experts.”
Minister Mezzour’s presentation, coinciding with Morocco’s organization of major global sporting events like the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal, sought to enrich the content of the national digital development strategy.
“General Trends for Digital Development – Morocco Digital 2030 aims to digitize public services and inject new dynamics into the digital economy to produce Moroccan digital solutions, create value, and generate employment opportunities,” according to the government statement.
For context, Minister Mezzour held a meeting on March 22nd with the Moroccan Committee for the 2030 World Cup, discussing topics related to telecommunication infrastructure and advanced information technology.
Both Spain and Portugal possess 5G internet service networks, a factor that experts believe could make a significant difference in stadium technology during the 2030 World Cup between these two countries and Morocco.
The second edition of the National Conference on the fifth-generation system is expected to be held in November of this year, revolving around Morocco’s lag in this area, according to Hespress sources.
