Abstract

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in football clubs has grown significantly in recent years. However, Moroccan clubs seem to be excluded from this dynamic. Hence the need to identify barriers to foreign capital entry and to propose strategic recommendations to make football clubs more attractive and accessible to foreign investors. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five national experts. The thematic analysis of this exploratory qualitative study highlighted five key factors: (historical, legal-legislative, management, economic-commercial and socio-political). The results affirmthat the attractiveness of CMF to foreign investors depends on a profound and multidimensional transformation of the Moroccan football landscape. Keywords: Foreign direct investment (FDI), football clubs, Moroccan football clubs (MFC), foreign capital, foreign investors.
