Morocco appoints contractors for Casablanca stadium construction
15 June 2025
A joint venture of local contractors Travaux Generaux de Construction de Casablanca (TGCC) and Societe Generale des Travaux du Maroc (SGTM) has been awarded the $320m contract for the next stage of construction works for the Grand Stade Hassan II stadium, which will serve as one of the venues for the 2030 Fifa World Cup tournament.
The two contractors submitted the only offer ahead of the tender deadline on 10 June.
The contract duration will be 30 months from the start of construction.
SGTM won a $35m contract last year to undertake the early works.
The stadium is being built on a 100-hectare site in the El-Mansouria area of Benslimane Province, 38 kilometres north of Casablanca.
In March last year, MEED reported that Morocco had appointed US-based architectural firm Populous and France's Oualalou+Choi to design the stadium.
The construction works are expected to be completed by 2028.
State-owned fund Caisse de Depot et de Gestion (CDG) signed a deal worth about $500m to finance the stadium’s construction.
Six other stadiums will be renovated in the cities of Agadir, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, Rabat and Tangier, to host the African Cup of Nations in 2025 and the 2030 Fifa World Cup.
Morocco will be the second African country to host the World Cup after South Africa in 2010. It is hosting the tournament jointly with Spain and Portugal.
