After a lengthy wait, development has begun on the Mohammed V Sports Complex in Casablanca to prepare for Morocco’s hosting of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) finals.
The facility was previously closed for rehabilitation so that it could be ready for the upcoming continental football competition.
Karim Klaybi, a member of the Mohammed V Complex Command and Tracking Committee, stated in an exclusive statement to Hesport that work on the stadium began on Monday, following the development of a comprehensive strategy for the major sports facility’s renovation.
The official praised the competent authorities for their efforts to rebuild and repair the Mohammed V complex, which is anticipated to undergo improvement on multiple levels.
Rachid Nayfi, director of the Marrakesh Stadium, responsible for rehabilitating the “Donor” stadium, had previously told Hesport that “There will be maintenance on a group of facilities at the Mohammed V Stadium, so that it will be in its best condition, God willing. There is an action plan for it to be prepared following high standards.”
As the works are scheduled to conclude on December 24 of this year, he continued, it is anticipated that the stadium will be open to the Casablanca clubs by the end of December.
He clarified that Mohammed V Stadium’s upkeep and restoration are part of the Royal Moroccan Football University project, which is meant to get the stadium ready to host the 2030 World Cup finals and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to the same source, the construction will result in significant modifications to the seminar hall, the stadium’s turf, the garage, the apparel warehouses, and the guest equipment.
These changes are necessary to meet the requirements of the Confederation of African and International Football Associations.
Notably, Mohammed V Stadium will not see an increase in the number of spectators knowing that it was closed a while back, forcing athletes from Raja and Wydad to play their games outside of Casablanca.
