In 2030, Morocco will co-host the FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal. It is the largest construction programme in African history — new stadiums, rail lines, airports, and hotel capacity across six cities.

This is not Morocco's first bid. The country competed for the 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010, and 2026 tournaments before winning the 2030 hosting rights. Five failed bids across three decades created something unusual: a nation with detailed stadium plans, transport studies, and urban infrastructure strategies refined over 30 years of preparation.

The result is not improvisation. It is the most prepared host in World Cup history.

Beyond Stadiums

High-Speed Rail

The Al Boraq TGV — Africa's first high-speed train (Tangier–Casablanca, 320 km/h since 2018) — is being extended to Marrakech and Agadir, creating a spine connecting all six host cities.

Airports

New terminals at Mohammed V (Casablanca), Marrakech Menara, and Tangier Ibn Batouta. Combined capacity increase of 30 million passengers annually.

Hotels

Morocco aims to double hotel capacity in host cities by 2029. The country currently has approximately 280,000 classified hotel beds; the target is 500,000+.

Motorways

New expressway links between host cities, including the Marrakech–Agadir corridor and upgrades to the Rabat–Fes route. Morocco already has Africa's most extensive motorway network at 1,800+ km.
