Fouzi Lekjaa, the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and Minister of Budget, has emerged as a key figure in Morocco's recent legislative elections following his move to the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM).

Lekjaa is widely viewed as a potential candidate for Prime Minister, a role that would involve overseeing the massive infrastructure preparations for the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal. Central to these preparations is the construction of the Grand Stade Hassan II near Casablanca, designed to hold 115,000 spectators and become the world's largest football stadium.

To support the tournament, Morocco has launched a $20 billion program to upgrade sports facilities, transportation, and tourism infrastructure. Lekjaa has expressed a strong commitment to securing the 2030 World Cup final for Morocco, stating that all national institutions and citizens will be mobilized to achieve this goal.
