Fes Stadium: A New Chapter After Recent Renovations
The initiation of these works follows the reopening of the Fes Sports Complex in June 2025, after a renovation project that lasted nearly 13 months, aimed at preparing the venue for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. However, the requirements for hosting World Cup matches in 2030 necessitate a broader scope of upgrades, as outlined in the new program. This initiative aims to enhance the facility in accordance with the standards set by FIFA, ensuring that it meets the expectations for one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. The scale of the new project, with an estimated cost exceeding 2.8 billion dirhams, underscores the importance of the renovations tied to the development of Fes Stadium as Morocco prepares to host this major global football competition.
