Two editions and official approval from the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Motocyclisme and the Fédération Royale Marocaine des Sports Automobiles, in the spirit of the most authentic rally-raid.
In 2026, FenekRally raises the bar even further and doubles its calendar, offering two distinct but complementary events: the spring edition, scheduled from May 22 to May 31, and the FenekRally Original, which will take place from September 11 to September 20. Among the main new features of the season is also a major sporting and organizational milestone: the official authorizations issued by Morocco’s motorcycle and automotive federations, a recognition that confirms the quality of the work carried out, the attention to safety, and compliance with international standards in event management.
The upcoming Spring edition offers participants a unique experience in the Moroccan desert, during a period characterized by favorable weather conditions and particularly striking light. Shadows stretch longer, the terrain becomes more defined, and the landscape transforms into an ideal environment for navigation and off-road driving. The September event, the FenekRally Original, instead represents the most established and demanding format: a complete challenge designed for riders and co-drivers who want to face a technical route where endurance, navigation, and the ability to manage the adventure become essential elements.
Lluis Rosa, what does it mean for FenekRally to have obtained the official authorizations from FRMM (Fédération Royale Marocaine de Motocyclisme) and FRMSA (Fédération Royale Marocaine des Sports Automobiles), the two official motorsport governing bodies in Morocco?
It is a highly prestigious achievement for FenekRally. It is an institutional recognition that validates the work carried out over the years and certifies compliance with the required standards in terms of safety, organization, and environmental protection. An important milestone that also strengthens the trust of participants, partners, and local authorities, consolidating FenekRally as a serious, well-structured event with strong continuity prospects in the international amateur rally-raid scene.
What role does Morocco play in the development of FenekRally?
Morocco is the heart of FenekRally. Not only because of the variety of its landscapes — dunes, fast tracks, and technical sections — but also due to its deep-rooted tradition in motorsport. The southern part of the country provides the ideal setting: accessible, safe, and strongly connected to off-road culture. Collaboration with local institutions and professionals is essential to develop authentic and challenging routes, always maintaining a balance between adventure, safety, and respect for local communities.
What are FenekRally’s next goals after this milestone?
We look to the future with great ambition. We want to continue improving the sporting and organizational quality of the rally, consolidate the two annual editions (Spring and Original), and progressively expand international participation, while always maintaining an accessible and inclusive spirit. At the same time, we aim to further develop the Overland and Adventure formats, opening the competition to new types of participants and continuing to offer an authentic rally-raid experience in which navigation, teamwork, and personal growth remain the central elements.
