Spotlight in Rabat on the State of Sports Medicine in Morocco and Its Prospects for 2030

This gathering, which brought together doctors and specialists in the field, highlighted the importance of promoting sports medicine in Morocco, especially as the Kingdom prepares to host major sporting events such as the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025) and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Participants called for strengthening the skills of sports doctors and medical-sports professionals, particularly through training and the creation of specialized university programs.

They also emphasized the need for better coordination of studies and scientific research related to physical education and sports.

Speakers at the symposium unanimously advocated for a redefinition of the role of the sports doctor, the establishment of integrated and coordinated treatment networks across various medical specialties, and the creation of regional sports medicine centers that could help athletes achieve optimal performance.

In this regard, AMMS President Oussama Boughaleb stressed the need to promote sports medicine, noting that the association is proposing a national strategy aimed at enhancing the skills of sports medicine professionals and medical-sports staff, as well as improving the quality of medical care for athletes through the creation of coordinated and decentralized care networks.

Mr. Boughaleb also called for AMMS initiatives to be integrated into a participatory dynamic involving the various government sectors responsible for sports, education, and health.

The symposium was also an opportunity to present insights on the latest techniques in sports medicine, particularly ozone therapy and its role in accelerating the treatment of sports injuries.
