The Moroccan government is crafting a «special penal code for the 2030 World Cup», revealed Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi during an interview with Med Radio. This new legislation will mainly address regulations concerning stadiums and their immediate environments. «We are considering establishing courts directly within the stadiums», Ouahbi clarified. In cases of misconduct by spectators that do not amount to a crime but still necessitate intervention, «we could order their immediate expulsion from the national territory. Detaining them is not an option, as we lack information about their health status and cannot anticipate their reaction to incarceration. Any incident in prison could potentially damage the World Cup's reputation», he explained. «This is why we are diligently working on this matter, in alignment with FIFA's standards», the minister stressed. For the record, FIFA inaugurated an office in Rabat last week as part of the preparations for the 2030 World Cup.
