Marrakech city view

🇲🇦 Morocco city guide

Marrakech

Medina lanes, late-night food stalls and Atlas Mountain horizons make this Morocco’s most intense city break.

Use the medina as your cultural base and the newer Gueliz or Hivernage districts for easier road access. Grand Stade de Marrakech sits north of the centre. It features in Morocco’s 2030 plans, but fans should treat match allocation and event transport as provisional until confirmed.

Stadiums

  • Grand Stade de Marrakech and its host city

    Grand Stade de Marrakech

    45,000 seats

    A large multi-use stadium north of Marrakech, opened in 2011 and used for major domestic and international fixtures. Proposed for 2030; final use is not yet confirmed.

    About 10 km north of the medina on the Casablanca road. Public transport is limited, so official shuttles or pre-arranged taxis are likely to matter on event days.

Matches

Fixtures appear here once the 2030 schedule is drawn.
