Tangier’s newly expanded stadium, now compliant with FIFA 2030 standards, is the largest venue for the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, scheduled from Dec. 21, 2025, to Jan. 18, 2026.
The stadium can accommodate more than 75,000 spectators and is set to host six matches, including three group-stage games, three knockout matches, and a semifinal.
Seating is arranged across three tiers in blue and white, reflecting the city’s visual identity, with VIP and VVIP lounges, a main hospitality platform for 210 guests, and additional sections for 1,300 distinguished spectators. The venue includes 142 private boxes, each seating 10 to 20 people.
The stadium features a hybrid natural and synthetic turf, designed for optimal drainage, durability, and player safety. Different grass types were planted to ensure year-round quality, combined with an advanced dual-direction water system for irrigation and excess rainwater drainage.
Player facilities include four locker rooms per team, recovery and massage rooms, cryotherapy areas, warming-up gyms, coaching offices, and a 500-square-meter mixed zone.
For fans and broadcasters, the stadium is equipped with interactive lighting meeting FIFA’s international broadcast standards, two giant 220-square-meter screens, a 700-meter-long perimeter screen, and additional field-level screens with a high-quality sound system.
Its wavy roof, covering 55,000 square meters, is the world’s second-largest after Brazil’s Maracanã stadium and was constructed using Moroccan engineering and mixed materials to withstand Tangier’s wind conditions.
The stadium is expected to offer fans and players an unparalleled experience during the knockout-stage matches involving Senegal, Benin, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, combining world-class playing conditions with high-quality viewing experiences.
