At its board meeting on August 3, 2026, chaired by Fouzi Lekjaa, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) approved the autonomy of the national leagues, effective at the end of December 2026. The decision was part of a broader agenda addressing items left pending from the previous meeting.
The federation also announced the creation of a new women's football hub, aimed at developing the sport at the grassroots and elite levels. The project aligns with Morocco's ongoing investment in women's football, which has grown significantly in recent years.
According to the FRMF's official statement, the board reviewed and validated the statutes and regulations necessary for the leagues' operational independence. This move is expected to professionalize league management and improve financial transparency.
No further details were provided on the timeline for the women's hub or its location. The federation's next steps will be monitored by clubs and stakeholders as the December deadline approaches.
