Morocco continues its efforts to prepare for hosting the 2030 World Cup, in collaboration with Spain and Portugal, by presenting a variety of components related to this global event, including sports infrastructure, transportation, tourism, and energy.

In this context, a Moroccan delegation representing the "Morocco 2030 Foundation" participated in the "Olé Summit 2026" held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where part of Morocco's preparations for the World Cup was showcased, along with the nomination of Casablanca to host the final match.

The Argentine newspaper "Olé," which organized the football summit in Buenos Aires, reported that Morocco is relying on the ambitious project of the Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane, which is currently under construction and is expected to have a capacity of around 115,000 spectators, making it the largest in the world.

During the meeting, members of the Moroccan delegation expressed their hope to see the Argentine national team play the final match in Casablanca, echoing the sentiment with the phrase: "We dream of a final with Argentina in Casablanca."

For his part, Yasser Faris, Morocco's ambassador to Argentina, spoke about the growth of Moroccan football in recent years, thanks to royal policies in this area, noting that the kingdom aims to continue developing this trend and enhancing its presence on the African and international football stage.

The ambassador stated that the results achieved by Moroccan football in recent years reflect the progress of the system, considering that Morocco seeks to highlight the continent's potential for hosting major sporting events through organizing the World Cup.

In the same context, the diplomatic official predicted a significant presence of Argentine fans at the 2030 World Cup, indicating that the number of supporters coming to Morocco could exceed the figures recorded during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Infrastructure and Transportation in the Preparations

During the summit held in Buenos Aires, the Moroccan delegation provided information about the projects related to hosting the World Cup, particularly in the areas of stadiums, airports, railways, energy, and tourism.

The Moroccan delegation explained that the kingdom has been developing several facilities over the past years that will contribute to welcoming fans and visitors during the tournament, highlighting stadiums, airports, high-speed trains, and investments related to green energy.

The geographical proximity between Morocco and Spain was also discussed, which is a distinctive feature of the 2030 World Cup, set to take place in three countries across two continents.

In this context, the Moroccan delegation pointed out that fans can benefit from the closeness of Moroccan and Spanish cities, providing an example of the possibility to watch a match in Tangier and then travel to Seville to attend another match on the same day.
