Morocco deploys consular support for fans at 2026 World Cup in US

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad on Thursday unveiled a support plan for Moroccan fans attending the 2026 World Cup in the United States. According to the ministry, the initiative aims to provide assistance and support to Moroccan nationals throughout the tournament through the deployment of dedicated consular teams.

Consular staff will be present at airports to welcome supporters and provide practical information, particularly on logistical matters. Teams will be deployed successively at New York's JFK Airport, as well as airports in Atlanta and Boston.

On match days, consular personnel will also be stationed in the cities hosting Morocco's games. To facilitate assistance, the Kingdom's Consulate General in New York will be reorganized to accommodate Moroccan nationals requiring support, the ministry said. The consulate is located at 55 Broadway, New York, NY 10006.

In Atlanta, a consular assistance stand will be set up at the Georgia World Congress Center. A similar facility will operate in Boston at the City of Revere Shirley Avenue Municipal Lot (141 Shirley Avenue, Revere, MA 02151), near Logan Airport and downtown Boston.

In addition, consular officers will be deployed around stadiums on match days to assist Moroccan supporters. The ministry has also made several toll-free, 24/7 hotline numbers available to Moroccan citizens in the United States throughout the tournament.
