more than 30 cities ready to receive athletes for a major event – ​​La Nouvelle Tribune

The Shereef kingdom is actively preparing the organization of the 2030 World Cup, an event that it will co-organize with Spain and Portugal. The announcements by Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, reveal the extent of the preparations undertaken throughout the national territory.

The team reception strategy reflects a decentralized vision of the event. Thirty-two Moroccan cities will participate in this international competition, offering accommodation and training sites to qualified selections. This distribution will allow equitable distribution of the benefits of the event across the different regions of the country.

The reception plan provides for innovative logistical flexibility. A team based in Rabat could, for example, establish its base camp in Nador, illustrating the desire to optimize the use of infrastructure throughout the territory. This approach underlines Morocco’s ambition to transform this competition into a continental celebration, going beyond national borders to shine across Africa and the Arab world.

Existing infrastructure will benefit from a complete renovation program. In Casablanca, the influx of Raja and Wydad supporters justifies the construction of a new stadium meeting international standards. The airports of Marrakech, Agadir, Fez, Tangier and Casablanca will be expanded to meet the expected increase in traffic.

The development of transport is also part of this dynamic with the planned extension of the high-speed line to Marrakech and Agadir. These large-scale projects, as Lekjaa points out, are part of a long-term vision of national development, constituting a major asset in the Moroccan candidacy.
