Elalamy’s work consists in providing all the necessary support to the Moroccan Royal Football Federation (FRMF) and the specific division created within the FRMF, in accordance with FIFA guidelines and specifications.

He will act as the Government’s interlocutor for FIFA and will, hence, be in charge of coordinating the action performed by the various departments concerned.
