The sporting event will include competitions in 24 sports disciplines, including boxing, cycling, fencing, football, judo, wrestling, weightlifting, taekwondo, and tennis.
On June 7, 15, and 16, the CNOM will organize information sessions for the benefit of the Moroccan delegation, “in order to explain the special system put in place to ensure travel to Oran, as well as the organizational directives to follow.”
