The Fédération Royale Marocaine des Sports Urbains said the Moroccan delegation will compete from October 3 to 18, with Mercier and Amghar entered in different skateboarding disciplines.
Mercier is entered in Park, while Amghar is competing in Street. Mercier has already gained international experience through appearances at several World Skateboarding Tour events, including competitions in Dubai, Ostia and San Juan. He also attended an international World Skate development camp in the United States earlier this year under an Olympic Solidarity program linked to the LA 2028 cycle.
