Construction Begins on World's Largest Football Stadium

The Grand Stade Hassan II, currently under construction near Casablanca, Morocco, is set to become the world's largest football stadium with a capacity of 115,000. Inspired by traditional Moroccan social gatherings called 'moussem,' the stadium features a unique tented roof made from aluminum lattice, supported by 32 stairways leading to elevated gardens. Designed by Oualalou + Choi in collaboration with Populous, the stadium will accommodate 29,500 spectators in three tiers at each end, alongside five levels of hospitality for 12,000 guests. It is slated to host the final of the 2030 World Cup, co-hosted by Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The project represents King Mohammed VI's vision to enhance Morocco's football infrastructure and is expected to redefine modern stadium design. Construction is set to begin on a 100-hectare site following the approval of public funding.
