From the world's largest planned football stadium to a covered arena overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar.
Updated 22 October 2026 · By the World to Morocco editorial team
Morocco will use six stadiums at the 2030 World Cup: the new Grand Stade Hassan II near Casablanca (≈115,000 seats), Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat (≈68,700), Grand Stade de Tanger (≈75,000), Grand Stade de Fès (≈55,000), Grand Stade de Marrakech (≈45,000) and Grand Stade d'Agadir (≈46,000).
Benslimane (Greater Casablanca) · Capacity ≈115,000 · Under construction
Morocco's flagship venue, rising between Casablanca and Rabat near Benslimane. At around 115,000 seats it is planned to be the largest football stadium in the world, and it is Morocco's candidate to host the final. Its design takes inspiration from the traditional moussem tent gatherings. Expect dedicated rail and road links from Casablanca and Rabat.
Rabat · Capacity ≈68,700 · Rebuilt, opened 2025
Demolished and rebuilt from scratch as a football-only arena, the new stadium in the capital opened in 2025 and was a headline venue of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Rabat's tram network and train stations make it one of the easiest venues to reach.
Tangier · Capacity ≈75,000 · Expanded, reopened 2025
Expanded and fully covered, the Tangier stadium sits on the doorstep of Europe. Fans with tickets in Spain can cross the Strait of Gibraltar by ferry, and Tangier is the northern terminus of Al Boraq, Africa's first high-speed train.
Fes · Capacity ≈55,000 · Renovation & upgrade
Being upgraded for 2030, the Fes stadium serves Morocco's spiritual and cultural capital. Matchdays here pair perfectly with the medina of Fes el-Bali and day trips to Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis.
Marrakech · Capacity ≈45,000 · Renovated
Marrakech's modern stadium lies north-west of the city. It is likely to be the busiest tourism host city, so book accommodation early — and plan for evening heat, which can stay above 30°C after dark in summer.
Agadir · Capacity ≈46,000 · Upgrade planned
On the eastern edge of Morocco's main beach resort, the Adrar stadium gives fans a classic sun-and-sea base, with Atlantic breezes keeping summer temperatures far milder than inland cities. Surf towns Taghazout and Tamraght are 20–30 minutes away.
Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier are linked by Al Boraq high-speed trains, and the new line to Marrakech is planned to be running by the tournament. Fes is on the conventional rail network from Rabat and Tangier, while Agadir is best reached by plane or the comfortable CTM and Supratours coaches.

Construction status reflects public reports as of October 2026. We will update capacities and opening dates as each venue is completed.
