The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation has a long history of hosting Arab Golf Federation championships, and once again, thanks to the initiative of the Moroccan team, under the leadership of His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, and with the support of the Arab Golf Federation, Morocco welcomes this championship.
