🇲🇦 Morocco city guide
Casablanca
Morocco’s Atlantic metropolis: big-city energy, landmark architecture and a major gateway for travelling fans.
Casablanca is Morocco’s commercial capital and busiest international gateway. Fans can combine the Corniche and Hassan II Mosque with direct rail links to Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech. The proposed Grand Stade Hassan II is outside the centre, so location and transport plans should be checked again once tournament arrangements are final.
Stadiums
Grand Stade Hassan II
115,000 seatsA vast new stadium planned near Casablanca as the centrepiece of Morocco’s 2030 proposals. Capacity and tournament role are planning figures until organisers publish final venue allocations.
The planned site is at Benslimane, outside central Casablanca. Dedicated tournament rail and shuttle arrangements are expected but not final; do not book accommodation on the assumption of a simple city-centre walk.
Matches
Fixtures appear here once the 2030 schedule is drawn.

Arriving and getting around
Mohammed V Airport has direct Al Boraq/rail connections via Casa Voyageurs depending on service patterns. Casa Voyageurs is the key station for high-speed trains north and intercity trains south. In town, use the tram for central corridors and official metered taxis; allow generous road time at peak hours.

Hassan II Mosque
landmark
Casablanca’s ocean-edge landmark, with an exceptionally tall minaret and guided interior visits outside prayer times. Dress respectfully and check tour times locally.
Old Medina
neighbourhood
A compact historic quarter near the port, best for an unhurried walk through market lanes rather than a polished sightseeing circuit.
