For Katarzyna Ozores, motorcycling is more than a sport. It is a lifelong calling, a family tradition, and a way to give back to her adopted country of Morocco. From the moment she first climbed onto a 50cc motorcycle at the age of sixteen, the path was set. What began as youthful excitement quickly grew into a purpose: to help shape the sport she loved and to open new opportunities for others.
Since moving to Morocco in 1977, the country has become her “country of heart.” With deep dedication, she has worked alongside the Royal Moroccan Federation of Motorcycling to develop the sport at national and international levels. Her contributions span administration, logistics, and timekeeping, areas of work often unseen but absolutely vital to the smooth running of competition. Whether supporting national championships or lending her expertise to Mediterranean trophies across Africa and Europe, she has proven that leadership in motorcycling is not only found on the track.
Family has always been central to her journey. With her husband and children also sharing the love of two wheels, motorcycling became a way of life. Together, they built a motto: “we are all motorcyclists.” This unity carried her through decades of involvement, with highlights including her pivotal role in organizing the MXOAN in Marrakech in 2023 alongside her club, MX Marrakech. In addition, she proudly serves as head of the Women’s Commission, championing female participation in the sport and ensuring women riders have a strong voice.
Her dedication and spirit did not go unnoticed. Encouraged by the Federation’s leadership, she joined the FIM Future Leaders Programme, where she found not only inspiration but also the tools to strengthen her impact. For her, the program is not the end of a road but a springboard for greater action.
Katarzyna’s story is one of love, love for motorcycling, for Morocco, and for community. It is proof that a dream pursued with commitment can uplift an entire sport and, in turn, contribute to the growth of a country. She continues to ride forward with purpose, determined to keep giving back to the land and people that gave her a home.
