World Cup 2026 Morocco Cafés Open Late Night Lions Matches

Supporters will be able to follow night matches with complete peace of mind. The Ministry of Interior has confirmed that no exceptional closure directive has been issued against establishments for this world competition. Operating hours remain under the strict jurisdiction of local authorities. The mission of local authorities will therefore be limited to preserving public order, particularly targeting noise disturbances. Agents will intervene at the slightest noise nuisance caused by excessive volumes or giant screens that would disturb neighborhood tranquility.

On the professionals’ side, satisfaction is the order of the day. Ahmed Bafarkan, coordinator of the National Federation of café and restaurant owners, assures that public authorities are showing cooperation to guarantee optimal broadcasting within the legal framework. Faced with this administrative flexibility, many managers throughout the Kingdom are already equipping themselves. They are ready to absorb a massive influx of enthusiasts, determined to support the national team despite kick-offs scheduled in the middle of the night.

This night-time tolerance will not necessarily result in uninterrupted broadcasting of the entire tournament. While Morocco’s matches guarantee packed rooms, many owners believe it would be financially risky to broadcast all other matches of the competition. Maintaining an active service team and supporting operating costs at such late hours for less attractive matchups proves difficult to make profitable. The appearances of the Lions of the Atlas will therefore constitute the true peaks of commercial activity during this month of football.
