Hosting 1st World School Golf Championship in Morocco Demonstrates Kingdom's Capacity to Organize Major Events
The hosting of the 1st World School Golf Championship in Morocco confirms the global community's trust in the Kingdom's ability to organize large-scale sporting events, stated the Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Mohamed Saad Berrada, on Tuesday in Rabat. Speaking during the opening ceremony of the first edition of the "ISF World School Golf Championship (WSGC)," being held from July 14 to 21 at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, under the effective presidency of His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, he emphasized that this confidence is the result of the implementation of the High Royal Directives and the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in the field of sports in general and school sports in particular. Organized by the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (FRMG), the Hassan II Trophy Association, the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports, and the Royal Moroccan School Sports Federation (FRMSS), in partnership with the International School Sport Federation (ISF), this grand sporting event is a new international golf competition reserved for athletes from the school system. Young female and male players from Europe, Africa, Asia, America, and the Middle East - representing 16 countries- are taking part in this event, which is included in the official ISF calendar. In this regard, Berrada expressed, on behalf of the international golf community, "our deep gratitude and sincere thanks to HRH Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the FRMG, for launching this initiative, supporting it with all his energy, and ensuring its realization.' "This championship embodies our shared ambition to use sport as a means to educate our youth in the values of citizenship and openness to the world," he added, welcoming in this context the decision to host future editions of the championship in Morocco in 2026 and 2028. This event is part of the World School Championships organized by the International School Sport Federation (ISF) and confirms Morocco's continued commitment to developing school sports and youth at the global level.

Prince Moulay Rachid Chairs Extraordinary General Assembly of Royal Moroccan Golf Federation
Rabat – Prince Moulay Rachid presided over the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (FRMG) held Monday in Rabat. Convened in accordance with the FRMG's statutes, the meeting brought together members of the Executive Committee as well as club representatives. Also in attendance were Mohamed Saad Berrada, Minister of National Education, and Faïçal Laraïchi, President of the Moroccan National Olympic Committee, according to a statement from the Federation. In his opening address, Prince Moulay Rachid, President of the FRMG, commended the performance of the national junior teams, recently recognized in continental competitions. These achievements reflect the results of a long-standing policy based on strong investment in youth, the statement added. In 2025, a new sports policy aims to support Moroccan youth through pathways of excellence throughout Morocco. All stakeholders in the golf community are expected to support and inspire this youth and to provide them with an environment conducive to their growth. The prince recalled that this vision was initially outlined in his address to the 2019 Ordinary General Assembly, during which he also emphasized the vital role of the caddie profession. The rollout of social coverage has marked a major social advancement for all Moroccans. In this context, Prince Moulay Rachid noted the importance of extending this social protection (compulsory health insurance, pensions, and others) to a significant population central to the national golf ecosystem, namely the caddies. The social and professional recognition of caddies is considered a strategic lever for the qualitative development of golf tourism. Prince Moulay Rachid has expressed a firm commitment to preserving the caddie profession and ensuring universal social coverage for its members. In this spirit, a circular has been issued to safeguard this traditional profession, ensure the dignity of those who practice it, protect golf courses over the long term, and enhance the golfing experience in Morocco. The implementation of these measures will require continuous consultation with clubs. To oversee this process, the FRMG has established a commission tasked with executing this major step forward in coordination with representatives of the golfing ecosystem and actors in Morocco's social security sector. In this context, two memorandums of understanding were signed in the presence of the prince. The first, concluded between the FRMG and representatives of golf clubs across Morocco, sets out the organizational framework and principles for structuring the caddie profession on a national scale. The second, signed with the National Pension and Insurance Fund (CNRA), outlines support mechanisms to implement the social coverage plan for caddies, including the creation of a dedicated support fund. In concluding his speech, Prince Moulay Rachid reaffirmed his commitment to the sustainable development of Moroccan golf, calling for an ecological transition based on the use of treated wastewater for course irrigation. Following this, the assembly opened the floor for exchanges with members, in a spirit of dialogue, transparency, and collaboration.
