Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. 31 of these athletes have a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
The top twelve of 31

Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Morocco
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League | 31 | 20 | $429,250 | — | $429,250 |
| World Championships | 2 | — | $46,000 | — | $46,000 |
| Indoor Championships | — | — | — | — | — |
| Ultimate Championship | — | — | — | — | — |
| World Relays | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cross Country | — | — | — | $4,000 | $4,000 |
| All six | 31 | 20 | $475,250 | $4,000 | $479,250 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Morocco on $429,250, 89.6% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Morocco. Morocco has won nothing at the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship and the World Relays.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 31: two athletes have been paid by more than one of the six, and are counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Soufiane El Bakkali has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
The cheques that went to the federation
1 team payment, paid to Morocco rather than to anyone who ran
| RACE | PLACE | WHO RAN | PURSE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed relay, 2024 | 4th | Hafid Rizqy, Rahma Tahiri, Hicham Akankam, Kaoutar Farkoussi | $4,000 |
None of this is in any athlete's total above, here or anywhere else on the site. A relay purse is paid to the team whole, a World Relays ladder place is a country's, and a cross country team standing pays the federation behind the first four runners home.
Morocco against the rest
Where $479,250 puts Morocco
