Morocco has a developing e-sport ecosystem, with a passionate community of players, professional organizations, regular events, tournaments, and leagues, as well as dedicated infrastructures.
E-sport falls under the responsibilities of the Royal Moroccan Federation of Electronic Games.
For video game enthusiasts, several national e-sport tournaments will be organized alongside the second edition of the Morocco Gaming Expo. These will include online qualification rounds to reach a wide audience across the country, followed by a grand final that will take place during the Morocco Gaming Expo in Rabat from July 2 to 6, 2025.
A world-class e-sports arena will be built at Rabat Gaming City, with a capacity of over 1,000 people. This arena will host major national, continental, and international events.
