RABAT, Morocco - Morocco will remain a key destination on the calendar for The International Series, following a landmark agreement with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation under the continued patronage of the Royal Family.

The two-year agreement was confirmed on the sidelines of International Series Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, which was won by Zimbabwe’s Scott Vincent.

The news underscores Morocco’s rising status as a premier hub for world-class golf in the region, with a robust ecosystem committed to nurturing talent, which includes two Asian Development Tour (ADT) events and further important initiatives that support the growth of the game in the country, from the grassroots level upwards.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, said: “We are very excited to share that we have an agreement with the Royal Moroccan Golf Association, with the patronage of the Royal Family, and can confirm that we will be back here for 2026 and for at least two years. We would like to thank His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rashid.

“All parties understand our commitment to the growth of golf in all our tournament destinations and the wider Asia region, and we want to play an integral part in supporting Morocco’s rise in the regional and global golfing ecosystem as it becomes an important destination and leader for the industry in North Africa and the MENA region.”

Recently, Morocco’s growing status was highlighted through the country's qualification for the prestigious World Amateur Team Championships (WATC), which will be held this October at the Tanah Merah Country Club in Singapore.

Jalil Bennazouz from the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation added: “The International Series exposes our local and regional talent to high-level international competition, and an extension of our current strong partnership offers an exceptional opportunity to further nurture them and empower them to further their undoubted potential."

The 2025 International Series Morocco this year took on added significance as part of a broader strategic initiative to grow the game in the region.

In the two weeks leading up to the event, Morocco hosted two Asian Development Tour (ADT) events which gave 40 players from the Arab Golf Federation the opportunity to compete with talent from the wider region for places in the field for the LIV Golf-backed event, the fourth of 10 on the Asian Tour calendar.

"The International Series has always been about creating pathways, generating opportunity, and growing the game," added Singh. "In partnership with the Asian Tour and aligned with the principles of LIV Golf, we're proud to bring these goals to life in a real and measurable way. While we offer a clearly defined pathway onto LIV Golf, these opportunities for regional talent are arguably even more significant. "

The field in Morocco reflected the region’s deepening involvement in the global game, with 13 players from the Arab Golf Federation, including eight from Morocco, highlighting the tournament’s role as a launchpad for talent in the region.

“The tournament feeds directly into our mission to grow the talent, in a mixture of established and developing markets, and ensure that the game of golf continues to expand worldwide,” added Singh.

The International Series is a set of 10 elevated events across the Asian Tour schedule, which offers a pathway onto the LIV Golf League for the player who finishes top of the leaderboard at the end of the season.
