World soccer governing body, FIFA has opened its major Africa office in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, further confirming the North African country as the hub of its operation on the continent.
The state-of-the-art office at the Mohammed VI Complex aims to strengthen support for African federations in their development projects and further reflects FIFA's desire to establish a lasting presence on the continent.
The opening of the office follows a signing of a Host Agreement last December in Marrakech between the key stakeholders: FIFA, the Kingdom of Morocco and Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
Rabat becomes the latest city to host a FIFA office after Paris, Miami and Jakarta, and reinforces FIFA's engagement with all regions and affirms its commitment to developing football across the globe.
