Morocco will spend almost $2bn on a new football stadium and refurbishing six others in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup, which it will host with Spain and Portugal.

The new stadium will be built in Benslimane, a city roughly halfway between Casablanca and Rabat.

The grounds to be upgraded are in Tangier, Casablanca, Rabat, Agadir, Marrakech, and Fez.

The aim is to make all venues comply with Confederation of African Football and FIFA standards.
