She added that the elective congress provided a valuable opportunity for dialogue and exchange with representatives of brotherly and friendly countries, many of whom expressed a firm intention to take part in the second edition of the International Festival of Traditional Games and Sports, which the Royal Moroccan Federation plans to organize soon in Guercif. For his part, Issa Mohammed Abderrahim welcomed the growing interest shown by member countries in hosting Sport for All events. He also praised Morocco's pioneering role in promoting Sport for All in particular, and sports in general, stressing that «the Kingdom has now established itself as a model to follow». In this regard, the FISPT President highlighted the exceptional quality of Moroccan sports officials and the world-class infrastructure available in the Kingdom, pointing to Morocco's notable success in hosting major international sporting events, particularly in football. The extraordinary general assembly and the elective congress brought together 101 members representing 35 countries from four continents.
