Documents obtained by Hespress have clarified the controversy surrounding the sale of scrap metal from Tangier’s Grand Stadium, a transaction initially met with public skepticism.

The total value of the sale reached nearly 10 million dirhams.

According to the documents, the state-run company SONARGES, which manages the stadium, conducted an expert assessment estimating the scrap at around 1,200 tons of metal left over from renovation works. The sale was carried out under the supervision of the Directorate of State Property, which received a full inventory from SONARGES.

More than 20 companies submitted sealed bids, with the winning offer reaching 7.37 million dirhams, nearly double the starting price of 3.6 million. Another batch of 113 tons was sold for 1.11 million dirhams, while 25,000 plastic seats were auctioned for 230,000 dirhams, with the rest redistributed to regional stadiums and schools.
