The 87th Congress of the International Sports Press Association (AIPS) will be organised from 12 to 17 May in Rabat, under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI.
This world-class event, organised by the Moroccan Sports Press Association (AMPS), in partnership with the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), as well as several national institutions, will mark a highlight in the history of sports journalism in Morocco and the world, a statement from the organisers indicated on Monday.
More than 350 journalists representing 110 countries from the five continents are expected in the Moroccan capital, which has been transformed for the occasion into the world capital of sports media. They will participate in debates, panels, and meetings devoted to the major challenges of the press and sport in a constantly evolving world, the same source specifies.
The opening ceremony, scheduled for Tuesday 13 May, will be marked by the AIPS Sport Media Awards, which will distinguish the best journalistic productions in the categories of written press, reporting, investigation, television, radio, and photography. Three special prizes will also be awarded to young sports journalists.
The congress proceedings will continue on 14, 15, and 16 May, around several reflection sessions focusing in particular on the challenges of women's sports journalism, the future of content creation, and other topical themes, according to the statement, adding that the programme will also include meetings of the AIPS Executive Committee as well as continental sections.
This congress confirms Morocco's position as a central player on the international sports and press scene, and reflects the Kingdom's commitment to dialogue, innovation, and excellence in sports media, the same source notes.
