These inaugurations underline Morocco’s determination to cement its place among the world’s top sporting destinations. From Rabat’s architectural brilliance to Tangier’s renewed grandeur, the nation’s investment in modern, fan-friendly venues reflects both pride in its footballing culture and a bold vision for the future.
