The Moroccan football federation has announced that plans have been concluded for a two day working visit by Fifa supremo, Sepp Blatter, on April 29, the federation said on Thursday.

Blatter will be accompanied by CAF president Issa Hayatou. “The main achievements as well as challenges and projects of our national football will be the focus of the meeting between Blatter and officials of Morocco football,” the FRMF said.

Morocco will host the Fifa Club World Cup in 2013 and 2014, following the body’s executive committee decision last December.

Morocco will thus become the first African nation to host such a competition which brings together in December every year the club champions of the six continental confederations and the best team in the domestic league of the host country.

CAF has also awarded Morocco the hosting rights for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Blatter will also visit neighbouring Algeria, whose FA, founded in 1962, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
