Morocco is co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal, with six Moroccan cities spread across the country each getting at least one tournament venue. The flagship is the Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca — when complete, it will hold roughly 115,000 people, making it the largest football stadium on earth. But the other five cities are the more interesting story for first-time visitors: a UNESCO medina in Fes, an Atlantic beach resort in Agadir, a royal capital in Rabat, a blue-tinged tourist epicentre in Marrakech, and a gateway to Europe in Tangier.
Spread across roughly 1,200 km of coastline and interior, the host cities sit on Morocco’s main rail spine, which makes multi-venue itineraries genuinely practical. The Al Boraq high-speed train runs from Tangier to Casablanca in just over two hours; Rabat is a 38-minute stop in between. Getting between Casablanca and Marrakech takes under three hours. Only Agadir sits off the rail network — but it is connected by regular buses and internal flights.
What follows is a city-by-city breakdown of stadium, logistics and where to stay, plus practical notes on travelling between venues. Construction timelines and seat capacities are indicative as of mid-2026 and subject to change before FIFA’s final certification.
