Rabat — FIFA President Gianni Infantino toured today the newly reconstructed Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat alongside Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) President Fouzi Lekjaa.
FIFA chief commended the facility as one of the most modern and innovative stadiums in the world of football.
“A football stadium today is much more than just a place to play football. It is a symbol for a country and a place to unite people, and this particular stadium is already a true jewel, showing the modern Morocco, a country projecting itself into the future and choosing football to unite the world,” Infantino wrote in a social media post.
The stadium underwent complete reconstruction after the original venue was demolished in summer 2023. It represents Morocco’s ambitious vision for its footballing future.
The stadium is of strategic importance, extending beyond domestic football, positioning Morocco as a key venue for international competitions.
The stadium is set to host a semi-final of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, when Morocco co-hosts the tournament alongside Spain and Portugal.
Additionally, the facility will play a central role in continental competitions, with plans to host major matches during the 2025 AFCON.
The FIFA president’s visit reflects Morocco’s broader football infrastructure transformation, with the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium serving as an example of the North African country’s commitment to modernizing its sporting facilities.
