Hall 02 · Host cities
Six cities. Pick one.
Morocco’s bid proposed six stadiums. Tap a city to see its stadium, its progress and what it means for real estate.
The host-city list is not final: FIFA has not confirmed every venue yet. Capacities are the targets in Morocco’s bid. Rental figures: AirDNA data reported by TelQuel, July 2026. City photos are illustrative.
Hall 03 · Getting there

Morocco is building the network that will carry visitors between host cities.

Hall 04 · Visitors
The world is already coming.

19.8 Mvisitors in 2025, up 14% in a year

1.1 M+AFCON 2025 spectators by the quarter-finals
Hall 05 · Real estate
What 2030 means for real estate.
More visitors, more questions, more languages. Here is what the data says, and what it does not.
01
Short-term rentals are growing.
Active listings rose about 24% in a year in Casablanca and Agadir (AirDNA). Airbnb has applied VAT since 11 June 2026, and Casablanca and Rabat limit studios in several districts.
02
The diaspora comes home.
More than 1.5 million Moroccans living abroad had returned by 10 July 2025. For agencies, that means questions sent from abroad, in French, Arabic or Darija.
03
Investors are watching. Prudence still applies.
The state announces MAD 190 bn of infrastructure and 60,000 new hotel beds. A big event does not guarantee price rises: check local data before you buy.
04
Fast answers, in every language.
Visitors will write from many countries, at every hour. Agencies that reply quickly, in the client’s language, will be easier to choose.

Questions, answered.
When is the 2030 World Cup?
FIFA’s proposed calendar starts with centenary matches on 8–9 June 2030 in South America and the main opening matches on 13–14 June in Morocco, Spain and Portugal, with the final expected on 21 July 2030. The full schedule has not been confirmed yet.
Which countries host the 2030 World Cup?
Morocco, Spain and Portugal, confirmed by the FIFA Congress on 11 December 2024. Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay each host one centenary match.
Which Moroccan cities could host matches?
Morocco’s bid proposed six stadiums: Casablanca (Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane), Rabat, Tangier, Fès, Marrakech and Agadir. FIFA has not yet confirmed the final list of host cities.
Where will the 2030 World Cup final be played?
FIFA has not announced the venue. The president of Morocco’s football federation said in September 2026 that Benslimane would host it; Spain also wants the final, and FIFA had called earlier reports of a promise “false and misleading”.
How big is the Grand Stade Hassan II?
It is designed for 115,000 spectators. It was about 40% complete in June 2026, with delivery targeted for December 2027.
What does the 2030 World Cup mean for real estate agencies?
More visitors and more questions, in more languages and at all hours. Short-term rental listings are already growing in host cities. Agencies that answer quickly in the client’s language will be better prepared; Quick Agent by kawnium is built for that.
