IGFR – Estonia wins first Nations Cup!
Dear Rotarians, Dear Friends,
The 1st IGFR Nations Cup, held from April 30 to May 2, 2026, in Casablanca, came to a close last Saturday evening with a wonderful gala dinner hosted by our President Elect, Hakim.
This inaugural edition was a tremendous success. Our friends and participants from the USA, Europe, Estonia, and Morocco enjoyed an exceptional experience filled with golf, friendship, meaningful encounters, and the joy of meeting new fellow golfers. The atmosphere throughout the event was marked by warmth, happiness, and camaraderie.
We sincerely regret the absence of our friends from India, Nepal, and Taiwan, who had to cancel their participation at the last minute due to the current situation in the Middle East.
Results of the 1st IGFR Nations Cup:
Estonia: Champion – Gold Medal
Morocco: Runner-up – Silver Medal
USA: Third Place – Bronze Medal

We witnessed a truly remarkable level of organization. From the welcome to the logistics, from the first swing to the final putt, everything was executed with precision and elegance. A huge congratulations to you, Nourdin, your entire team, and our Moroccan hosts for this flawless achievement from A to Z.
