Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

As excitement builds for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the United States, the Embassy of Morocco in Washington has officially released a practical guide and an informational video capsule to assist Moroccan supporters planning to travel and support the Atlas Lions.

This proactive initiative aims to help fans anticipate all administrative, logistical, and security procedures related to this major international sporting event.

Why This Guide Is Important for Moroccan Supporters

The 2026 World Cup will take place across several American cities, including New Jersey, Boston, and Atlanta during the group stage. For many Moroccan fans, this will be their first experience traveling to the United States for a global tournament.

The embassy’s guide provides clear, step-by-step explanations covering everything from match ticket purchases to visa applications, ensuring that supporters are fully prepared before departure.

Step 1: Secure Your Match Tickets and FIFA Pass

The first essential step is booking official match tickets. Purchasing tickets is mandatory before applying for certain event-related access requirements, including the FIFA pass system.

Supporters are strongly advised to use official FIFA platforms to avoid fraud and unauthorized resellers.

Step 2: Apply for a U.S. Visa Early

Moroccan passport holders must apply for a U.S. tourist visa (B1/B2). The embassy recommends starting the process several months in advance due to high global demand ahead of the World Cup.

• Complete the DS-160 form online
• Schedule a visa interview
• Prepare financial and travel documentation
• Provide proof of match ticket purchase

Early preparation is key to avoiding delays.

Travel Logistics: Flights, Currency & Accommodation

The guide also addresses practical travel considerations:

• Booking round-trip flights from Morocco
• Activating tourist foreign currency allowances
• Purchasing travel and health insurance
• Reserving accommodation well in advance

Given the scale of the event, hotel prices in host cities are expected to rise significantly as the tournament approaches.

Respect U.S. Customs and Entry Regulations

Supporters are reminded to strictly comply with U.S. customs regulations, particularly regarding prohibited goods. Carrying restricted items can lead to entry denial or legal issues.

Travelers should review official U.S. customs guidelines before departure.

Getting Around in Host Cities

The embassy’s recommendations also include:

• Using public transportation systems
• Activating international roaming or purchasing local SIM cards
• Following safety guidelines in public spaces

American cities hosting matches are well equipped with infrastructure, but planning ahead remains essential.

Consular Support During the Tournament

The Moroccan diplomatic network across the United States will remain fully mobilized throughout the World Cup. Consular services will be available to assist Moroccan nationals in case of emergencies or administrative difficulties.

This support ensures Moroccan fans can focus on what truly matters — cheering for the Atlas Lions on the world stage.

A Historic Moment for Moroccan Football

Following Morocco’s historic performance at the 2022 World Cup, expectations are high for 2026. The tournament represents not only a sporting challenge but also a moment of national pride.

With proper preparation, Moroccan supporters can experience the World Cup safely, confidently, and memorably.

World Cup 2026 is more than a tournament — it’s a global celebration, and Morocco will be there.
