This Wednesday, February 1, 2023, Tangier Stadium shone brightly much to the delight of the public who came to witness the kick-off of the Club World Cup. The breathtaking opening ceremony produced fireworks in the Cherifian air, on the occasion of the 19th edition of the Club World Cup that Morocco is hosting between the pearl of the North and the capital of the Kingdom, Rabat.
An opening ceremony worthy of the biggest international sporting events. The celebration plunged spectators and viewers back into the spirit of the exploits of the Atlas Lions at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The ceremony paid tribute to the famous Tangier explorer, Ibn Battuta as well as to the legend of football, Pele.

A grandiose ceremony with a magnificent show of sounds and lights, the presence of guest-star Walid Regragui, a true legend in the country embellished the ceremony. The coach of the Atlas Lions played the role of Master of ceremony by launching in particular the famous “Dirou Niyya” (believe in us), rallying song of the supporters during the Qatar world cup expedition.
The cultural diversity was not left out. Dj Kawtar Sadek was able to make the audience go hysterical with his mixing of Moroccan rhythms. Thus, the public discovered 12 musical rhythms representing the 12 regions of Morocco.
