Regional Intern, Central Africa

The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) is offering a Regional Internship for Central Africa, based in Rabat, Morocco. This internship sits within the Member Associations department, the division that works directly with national football federations across the globe to develop the sport at every level. It is a chance to work inside one of the most influential sports organizations in the world, supporting the growth of football across a specific region. The role is based in Rabat, Morocco's capital city. Rabat is a coastal city on the Atlantic Ocean, known for its blend of modern administration and historic sites. It is generally more relaxed and affordable than Casablanca, Morocco's largest city. The cost of living is moderate compared to Western Europe, and the city has a growing expat community. Morocco's climate is warm and sunny for much of the year, with mild winters. French is widely spoken in professional settings, alongside Arabic, so some French ability would be a practical advantage for daily life and work. FIFA is the international governing body of association football, responsible for organizing major tournaments like the World Cup and setting the rules of the game worldwide. It has 211 member associations and operates from its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, with regional offices around the world. Working in the Member Associations department means you would be involved in the operational side of football development, helping national federations in Central Africa improve their administration, competitions, and grassroots programs. This is a hands-on learning environment where you would see how global sports policy translates into action on the ground in specific countries. This internship is designed for someone early in their career who wants to understand how international sports governance works. You would be exposed to real projects, not just observation. The organization also offers language courses, training, and a clear interest in internal mobility, which means strong performers can build a long-term path within FIFA. If you are interested in sports management, international relations, or development work, this is a direct entry point into a global institution.
