Rabat, The Gulf Observer: The World Football Summit (WFS) is set to hold its first-ever African edition in Rabat, Morocco, on April 9-10, 2025, bringing together global football leaders to discuss strategies for advancing football across the continent.
The prestigious event, organized in partnership with EVOSPORT and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), will take place at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P).
