In a bold move aimed at securing its place on the global football stage, Morocco has embarked on a monumental project to build the largest stadium in the world right in the heart of Casablanca. The stadium, aptly named “The Grand Stadium,” is slated to be one of the premier venues for the highly anticipated 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
With an ambitious vision and unwavering determination, Morocco aims to construct a state-of-the-art facility that will not only leave spectators in awe but also solidify its bid to host the final match of the World Cup. The Grand Stadium is expected to boast a staggering capacity of up to 115,000 spectators, setting a new benchmark for football arenas worldwide.
The decision to embark on such an ambitious endeavor underscores Morocco’s commitment to elevating its status as a formidable contender in the global football arena. By vying with iconic stadiums such as the Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou in Spain, Morocco is positioning itself as a frontrunner in the race to host one of the most prestigious events in sports.
Preparatory work for The Grand Stadium has already commenced on a sprawling 100-hectare site located in the city of Mansouria in the Benslimane province, just 38 kilometers north of Casablanca. Following the approval of project financing last October, construction efforts are now in full swing, with a projected completion timeline that aligns with the countdown to the 2030 World Cup.

As Morocco marches forward with its ambitious plans for The Grand Stadium, anticipation continues to mount ahead of the 2030 World Cup. With every brick laid and every beam raised, Morocco edges closer to its goal of showcasing its rich cultural heritage and passion for football on the grandest stage of them all
