World's Largest Football Stadium in Morocco

Populous and Oualalou + Choi have just released the design for the of Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca, Morocco. Set to be the largest football stadium globally, the stadium boasts a capacity of 115,000 people. Drawing inspiration from Morcco’s traditional ‘moussem,’ a type of social gathering, the design features a grand, tent-like roof that integrates dramatically into its forested surroundings. The Grand Stade Hassan II is designed to meet FIFA standards, making it a potential venue for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final. Preparation for construction is underway on a 100-hectare site in El Mansouria, 38 km north of Casablanca.

The roof is a standout feature of the design, constructed from a unique aluminum lattice. The structure is supported by 32 stairways that form monumental gateways leading to elevated gardens, situated 28 meters above ground. The design also incorporates botanical gardens at ground level, further enhancing the stadium's connection to nature. The stadium's main seating area is structured with three steep tiers at each end, accommodating 29,500 spectators per end. This arrangement aims to create an engaging and energetic atmosphere. In addition to these general admission areas, the stadium includes five levels of hospitality along each side of the pitch, providing seating for 12,000 VVIP, VIP, and hospitality guests, as well as a Royal box.
