The CEO of the global kickboxing organization Glory, Marshall Zelaznik, has recently confirmed the potential for hosting an international event in Morocco. In a statement shared on the organization's social media platforms, Zelaznik emphasized that this initiative is among his team's «priorities».
«We know that the Moroccan government is investing in sport. They've got a number of soccer tournaments rolling through there [in Morocco]. The country is clearly interested in this sport. How can they not be with the fighters we have? And so, I guess the short answer, is yes, I can see it happen. The question is when», he stated.

Simultaneously, Zelaznik assured that his organization is committed to making necessary preparations. «And if the opportunity presented itself this year, we would do it. If it's next year, we'll do it there», he remarked, adding that «there's nothing greater than bringing fighters to a country that hasn't had the chance to discover its heroes».
Referring to the numerous binational or Moroccan talents excelling in the ring across Europe, America, and Asia, Zelaznik highlighted that «to see fighters walk out in their home country» would make the organizers even prouder to be able to offer this to the athletes. «It's something that we're looking at honestly,» he reiterated.
