The Committee also unveiled the new uniform that Moroccan athletes will wear at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Designed by Ali Drissi, the outfit “combines elegance and national symbolism,” and features an off-white jacket decorated with a green star, symbolizing the Kingdom’s flag, with bright red pants completing the outfit, adding a touch of dynamism and passion to the overall ensemble.
A unique feature is the inclusion of the names of the Moroccan Olympic medalists on the inside of the jacket in a bold red and green color scheme, serving as both a tribute to the country’s rich sporting heritage and an inspiration to future champions.
The sneakers, echoing the jacket motif, are embellished with green and red laces, representing the national colors.
