Morocco’s Adrar Stadium, also known as the Grand Stade d’Agadir, is undergoing significant renovations as the country prepares to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The coastal venue, which opened in 2013, is receiving comprehensive upgrades both inside and out.Moroccan handicrafts
“The Grand Stade d’Agadir is already prepared to host major events,” assured Hicham Allouli, regional director of the National Company for the Construction and Management of Sports Facilities (SONARGES).
The renovations are being conducted in two phases. The first phase, which is nearly complete, focuses on preparing the stadium for AFCON 2025. “The first phase consisted of exterior improvements to the stadium, which increased parking capacity from 2,600 to 4,100 spaces,” Allouli explained.
The stadium has received extensive updates with an investment of €34 million ($39.5 million) to date. Three training fields and a mini stadium have been constructed outside the main venue.
Security enhancements include facial recognition technology, while additional work has involved strengthening the outer fence, installing new ticketing points, replacing the turf on both the main pitch and training grounds, and renovating the dressing rooms.
