Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), has been appointed Morocco’s Minister of Economy and Finance and Public Performance, marking a major step in his political career alongside his influential role in African football.
Lekjaa, one of the most powerful figures in African football administration, has played a significant role in the development of Moroccan football and the country’s growing influence on the international stage.
As FRMF president, he has overseen Morocco’s rise as a major force in African and world football, with the North African nation investing heavily in football infrastructure, youth development and international competitions.
His new ministerial appointment places him at the centre of Morocco’s economic and financial policy, adding substantial government responsibilities to his existing football leadership role.
Lekjaa’s appointment further underlines his growing influence in Morocco, where football development and broader national ambitions have increasingly gone hand in hand.
