A Global Facility at Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Preparation for CAN 2025 and the 2030 World Cup
Moulay Abdellah Stadium in the Moroccan capital Rabat is preparing to reopen its doors after undergoing a comprehensive reconstruction that has transformed it into one of the most modern stadiums in Africa and internationally, in preparation for hosting the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 and the World Cup 2030, which will be organized by the Kingdom in partnership with Spain and Portugal.
The stadium is set to have its official inauguration in the coming weeks, with a seating capacity of 68,500 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Morocco in terms of capacity, and an architectural and sports landmark by international standards.
The excellence of Moulay Abdellah Stadium is not limited to its modern design or its audience capacity; it also includes advanced sports agricultural technologies, used for the first time on the African continent, to maintain the quality of natural grass throughout the season.
The stadium has become the first football facility in Africa to adopt a specialized LED lighting system for grass growth, developed by the globally leading Dutch company SGL. This system includes: 6 LED440 devices, each covering 440 square meters, to accelerate grass growth; 2 LED120 devices for sensitive areas such as the penalty area; 6 TurfPod sensors to measure temperature, humidity, salinity, and light intensity; and a smart TurfBase system for remote control and data analysis.
These systems work together to create an ideal environment for grass growth, even in the most challenging climatic conditions, ensuring the pitch is ready at the highest possible quality throughout the sports season.
The stadium is located on the highway connecting Rabat and Casablanca and was built according to the latest architectural and technical standards. It includes advanced facilities, notably: a panoramic roof with modern design, VIP areas equipped with all amenities, underground parking, and a modern next-generation lighting system.
It is expected that Moulay Abdellah Stadium will form a comprehensive sports hub within the map of stadiums designated for CAN 2025 and the 2030 World Cup, reflecting Morocco's ambition to host major football events.
