The Royal Moroccan Football Federation implemented a new regulation prohibiting private football academies and schools in Morocco from using the names of foreign clubs. This ban also applies to institutions with formal partnerships or direct associations with international clubs.

The regulation is intended to establish a unified national regulatory framework for football training. By creating a national reference for private academy management, the Federation aims to foster an independent identity for local institutions and align them with Morocco’s national football development strategy and youth talent ecosystem.
