The big picture
PROJECTS & PROGRESS
Announcements, construction and completed work are different stages. Each topic below makes that distinction clear.
01Hosting confirmed
World Cup 2030
Morocco will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal. Three centenary matches will be played in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
The match schedule, the allocation of matches to cities, the venue for the final and ticketing are FIFA decisions that have not yet been taken.

02Under construction
Rail & regional transport
ONCF is building a high-speed line of about 430 km from Kenitra to Marrakech, targeted for 2029, with 168 new trains on order and suburban rail for Casablanca.
The works already change services around Casablanca. Construction milestones, a 2029 target and a bookable timetable are three different things.
