Fes-Meknes Council Greenlights Construction of a Major Stadium

The Fes-Meknes Regional Council has officially approved a partnership agreement aimed at constructing a large stadium in the city of Meknes, with a significant investment amounting to approximately 600 million dirhams. This decision was made during an extraordinary session held in Fes. The stadium project is part of a broader initiative to enhance the region's sports infrastructure, particularly in preparation for Morocco's hosting of the 2030 World Cup.

Funding for this ambitious sports facility will be sourced from multiple stakeholders. The Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports has committed 150 million dirhams to the project, while the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has pledged a substantial 300 million dirhams. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of developing sports facilities in Morocco as the nation gears up to host international football competitions.

The new stadium is expected to serve as a hub for various sporting events and activities, thereby promoting a healthy lifestyle and providing local athletes with the facilities they need to excel.
