Morocco recognized as a leading security partner, driven by the leadership of Abdellatif Hammouchi and the DGSN
Morocco’s selection to join the White House Task Force dedicated to the organization of the 2026 FIFA World Cup represents major international recognition of the Kingdom’s expertise, particularly in the strategic field of security. The distinction, welcomed by the United States Embassy in Morocco, confirms the country’s prominent status as a reliable partner and key player on the international stage.
At the center of this recognition is the decisive role of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), led by Abdellatif Hammouchi, whose visionary leadership and acknowledged expertise have elevated Moroccan security standards to the highest international level. Under his guidance, Morocco has developed an integrated approach combining operational efficiency, strategic anticipation and exemplary international cooperation.
The Kingdom’s participation in this strategic task force is intended to strengthen security collaboration ahead of one of the world’s biggest sporting events. It reflects the confidence of the United States in Morocco’s ability to contribute to the protection and smooth organization of major international gatherings at a time when security challenges have become increasingly central.
This distinction also comes within a strong historical framework marked by nearly 250 years of diplomatic relations between Morocco and the United States. It is a solid and lasting partnership built on mutual respect and shared strategic visions, now finding a new expression through this advanced framework of cooperation.
The White House task force, responsible for coordinating federal efforts for the successful organization of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is based on an integrated model combining interagency coordination, information sharing and strategic support. Morocco’s involvement in this mechanism demonstrates recognition of its expertise, particularly in securing major events.
Through this participation, Morocco further confirms its standing as a model in the fields of security and international cooperation. Under the leadership of Abdellatif Hammouchi, the Kingdom has established itself as a pillar of stability, capable of combining rigor, professionalism and innovation in addressing contemporary security challenges.
