Bensaid reports nearly 800 local pitches and plans federation reform
Addressing a House of Representatives committee on 4 November 2026, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid reported the activation of nearly 800 local sports pitches during the year, according to Hespress and Albab360.
The minister says priority goes to rural municipalities and urban outskirts to widen access to sport. The figure is his assessment presented to lawmakers; the articles provide no detailed list of facilities.
Bensaid also announced plans to revise federation legislation after consulting the federations. He cited temporary management committees for pétanque and badminton. The reform remains planned: these reports present no newly adopted legislation.
