Moroccan Embassy in the United States Publishes “Moroccan Supporters’ Guide for the 2026 World Cup”
To assist Moroccan fans traveling to support the Lions of the Atlas, the Moroccan Embassy in Washington has released a practical guide aimed at fans planning to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in the United States. The document gathers all essential information to ensure a safe, well-organized, and enjoyable stay during the tournament.
As part of this support system, Moroccan consular services announced the deployment of enhanced assistance measures, including mobile consulates in host cities and dedicated telephone lines to respond to information requests and emergencies throughout the tournament.
The guide also presents the Moroccan national team’s group-stage schedule: the team will face Brazil on June 13, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey; Scotland on June 19 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, near Boston; and Haiti on June 24 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. All matches are scheduled for 6 p.m. local time.
Entry Formalities and Visas
The guide emphasizes the importance of purchasing tickets exclusively through the official FIFA website to access the “FIFA Pass” system managed by U.S. authorities. This system facilitates scheduling non-immigrant visa appointments (B1/B2) at the Casablanca consulate. It does not constitute a visa nor guarantee its issuance, but simplifies the appointment process.
Air Travel
Several direct flights by Royal Air Maroc connect Casablanca with New York, Washington, and Miami, with a new direct route to Los Angeles planned for June 2026. Additional options include United Airlines flights from Marrakech to Newark and Delta Air Lines flights from Marrakech to Atlanta.
Accommodation and Practical Advice
Supporters are encouraged to book accommodations early for better rates and to use international credit cards for reservations. Airbnb services are available in most host cities, except in central New York.
Health and Legal Recommendations
The embassy strongly recommends health insurance covering the entire stay, including emergency care, hospitalization, and repatriation. It also reminds travelers of customs regulations, including the declaration of amounts exceeding $10,000 and the prohibition of importing agricultural products or counterfeit items. Mobile consulates will handle urgent procedures, while permanent consulates in Washington, New York, and Miami remain available for guidance and assistance.
According to the Moroccan diplomatic representation, the guide is an essential tool reflecting the authorities’ commitment to providing supporters with optimal conditions, allowing them to fully focus on their mission: supporting the national team and proudly representing Morocco in pursuit of a historic achievement.
