Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca set to host the 2030 World Cup final

Newly released images of the Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca, Morocco, reveal the design of what is projected to become the largest football stadium in the world, with a capacity of 115,000.

The stadium’s design is a collaboration between Paris-based architects Oualalou + Choi and Populous. The architecture draws inspiration from the traditional Moroccan social gathering known as a ‘moussem,’ with the stadium featuring a grand tented roof.

The stadium bowl is designed with three steep, compact tiers at both ends, accommodating 29,500 general admission spectators each. Along the main stands at the sides of the pitch, five levels of hospitality will cater to 12,000 hospitality and box users, including a Royal box.
