Golf: His Highness Prince Moulay Rachid Hosts Gala Dinner for the Hassan II Trophy and Lalla Meryem Cup
His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid presided over a gala dinner in Rabat, hosted by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to commemorate the 50th edition of the Hassan II Golf Trophy and the 29th edition of the Lalla Meryem Cup—two significant events on the national and international sports calendar.
This ceremony is part of the celebration of two prestigious sporting events organized under the High Patronage of His Majesty the King, which contribute to the promotion of Moroccan golf on both a continental and international scale.
The gala dinner brought together numerous personalities from the sports, institutional, and diplomatic arenas, as well as stakeholders involved in organizing these historic competitions, which rank among the most important golf events in Africa and the Arab world.
The Hassan II Golf Trophy, established in 1971 at the initiative of the late His Majesty King Hassan II, is now considered one of the most prestigious tournaments on the international circuit and is held at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course in Rabat.
The Lalla Meryem Cup, launched in 1993, serves as the female equivalent of this competition and plays a vital role in promoting women’s golf and the development of high-level sports in Morocco.
Since 2018, His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid has presided over the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation, which plays a central role in organizing and structuring national and international competitions, contributing to the modernization of the sector and the emergence of new Moroccan talents.
The 2026 edition marks a symbolic milestone as it celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Hassan II Trophy, reaffirming the continuity of a royal vision that positions sports as a lever for prestige, development, and international outreach for the Kingdom of Morocco.
