In the heart of the serene Maâmora forest in Salé next to Rabat, adjacent to the prestigious Mohammed VI Football Complex, stands a new landmark that every Moroccan—and every football fan—must visit. The Moroccan Football Museum (MFM), inaugurated in 2024, is a 2,100-square-meter masterpiece dedicated to the legends, the heartbreak, and the ultimate triumphs of the beautiful game in the Kingdom.

Whether you grew up cheering for Faras in ’76 or fell in love with the team during the 2022 World Cup, this museum is where the pulse of Moroccan football lives.

🏛️ Six Thematic Spaces: The Story of a Nation

The museum is thoughtfully divided into six immersive galleries, each capturing a different heartbeat of the sport:

1. Vision Royale (Enlightened Royal Vision): This space traces the crucial role of Morocco’s monarchs—from Mohammed V to King Mohammed VI—in transforming football into a pillar of national unity.
2. Land of Pioneers: A tribute to the early icons who paved the way when the sport first took root in the early 20th century.
3. Land of Excellence: Here, the trophies shine! Explore the historic achievements of national teams and clubs, from the 1976 AFCON title to the rise of local giants like Wydad and Raja.
4. The Hall of Fame: A sanctuary for the greats. From Badou Zaki and Ahmed Faras to modern legends like Hakimi and Bounou, this gallery honors the players, coaches, and referees who marked history.
5. Land of Hospitality: Relive the grand events Morocco has hosted, from legendary friendly matches to international tournaments, showcasing the Kingdom as a global football hub.
6. Land of Passion: My personal favorite! This section is dedicated to you—the fans. It captures the incredible fervor of the Moroccan supporters, famous worldwide for their “Tifos” and unwavering loyalty.

🏆 Reliving the Qatar 2022 Magic

The museum features a breathtaking temporary exhibition dedicated specifically to Morocco’s historic semi-final run in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. You can see the actual jerseys worn during those iconic matches, relive the goals through immersive video displays, and feel the “Niya” that brought a whole continent and Arab world together.

📽️ A Modern, High-Tech Experience

This isn’t just a collection of old boots. The MFM is a state-of-the-art facility featuring:

• A 42-seat screening room for watching historic match highlights.
• Interactive digital archives where you can research every game and player.
