Al-Rahmouni calls for drawing inspiration from the American model in dealing with "FIFA."
The sports analyst and media figure Adel Rahmouni confirmed that Morocco is required to learn lessons from the American experience in dealing with international sports organizations, emphasizing the need to impose the state's sovereignty and interests over FIFA's requirements during the preparations for organizing the 2030 World Cup.
Rahmouni explained, during his participation in the "Hespress Debate" program, that the United States treated the International Federation as an ordinary organization, a approach that the kingdom should adopt, which has proven its organizational capabilities in the recent Africa Cup of Nations in terms of the quality of stadiums, buses, and hotels, exceeding even World Cup standards.
In comparing continental events, the same analyst pointed out the vast differences between the exceptional reception conditions in Morocco and the suffering of journalists and delegations in other countries, such as Cameroon, Gabon, and Ivory Coast, where the most basic conditions for comfortable accommodation were lacking. He called in this context for the need to abandon the exaggeration in hospitality and folkloric reception rituals, highlighting that some delegations, like the Senegalese delegation, did not appreciate the tremendous efforts that far exceeded what neighboring countries provided in previous events.
The same speaker considered that Morocco's meticulous organization poses a real and embarrassing challenge to the countries that will host the upcoming editions of the African celebration, while also confirming that the World Cup will serve as a strong engine to accelerate comprehensive development, just as it happened with Spain after hosting the 1982 edition.
Rahmouni interpreted the ongoing media attack launched by some Algerian and Egyptian outlets against the kingdom as merely a reaction to this organizational superiority, denouncing how Morocco welcomes its guests with the finest accommodation conditions while Moroccan sports and media delegations are held for long hours and treated coldly at the airports of neighboring countries.
