1. The 6 Host Cities & Stadiums

The tournament will be held across six of Morocco's most iconic cities, each offering a unique cultural experience alongside the football. The stadiums are a mix of historic grounds and brand-new, world-class facilities.

Casablanca (The Economic Hub)

The legendary **Stade Mohammed V** is the historic heart of Moroccan football, known for its passionate atmosphere. Outside the stadium, you can visit the magnificent Hassan II Mosque.

Marrakech (The Red City)

The stunning **Marrakech Stadium** will host games against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. This is the perfect city for first-time visitors, with the Jemaa el-Fna square providing endless entertainment.
