Thousands of Decathlon employees in Morocco will soon have the chance to become shareholders in the sports retailer after the country’s financial regulator approved a new employee share offer. The Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) said on 11 June that it had approved the prospectus for the “Decathlon International Shareholding Plan”, a share subscription programme reserved for Decathlon employees.
The offer is open to staff working at Decathlon’s three Moroccan entities: DECAPRO MAROC, DECATHLON MAROC and DECATHLON REGIONAL SUPPORT.
Employees will be able to subscribe for shares between 12 and 25 June 2026. The subscription price has been set at €37.93 per share, or 412.03 dirhams.
The approved prospectus includes the rules governing the employee share plan as well as the company’s bylaws updated to June 2025.
The programme is part of a long-running effort by Decathlon to give employees a stake in the business. The French retailer has been expanding employee share ownership internationally since 2001 as a way of encouraging staff to take part in the company’s growth.
Today, nearly 60,000 Decathlon employees in 40 countries are shareholders in the company.
Decathlon remains one of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers. In 2025, the company reported gross merchandise volume of €20.7bn, up 7.1% from the previous year. Net sales rose 4% to €16.8bn, while net income increased 16% to €910m.
The retailer employs around 103,000 people worldwide and operates 1,902 stores across 82 countries. It opened 85 new stores during 2025.
According to Decathlon’s latest employee survey, 89% of staff said they were happy to come to work.
The Moroccan offer comes as a growing number of multinational companies roll out employee share plans for their local workforce. During the first half of 2026, groups including TotalEnergies, Veolia, Vinci and Renault launched similar schemes in Morocco after receiving regulatory approval.
