The Mohammed V stadium will reopen by the end of March in a new setting befitting the history of this iconic football venue, the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaa, announced on Thursday.
“The redevelopment work is at a very advanced stage. Only a few weeks remain before completion. The complex will reopen at the latest by the end of March,” said Lekjaa, who conducted a field visit alongside the Wali of the Casablanca-Settat region, Mohamed Mhidia, the Governor of the Casablanca-Anfa district, Aziz Dades, and the President of Moroccan National Professional Football League (LNFP), Abdeslam Belkchour, to assess the progress of works at the stadium.
In this regard, Lekjaa noted that the complex has been renovated to increase its seating capacity to over 44,000 spectators, adding that it has been equipped with all modern facilities, including upgraded locker rooms, a press tribune, and various spaces designed to ensure smooth public access.
He emphasized that this football venue will be one of Casablanca’s major achievements, adding that as part of Morocco’s organization of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the city will also see the construction of the Hassan II Stadium in Benslimane, with a capacity exceeding 115,000 spectators.
