Sports… For a New Generation of Sports Facilities
Meknes is preparing to host a modern sports city with a capacity of 6,000 seats, in a project costing 200 million dirhams. This facility is expected to constitute a qualitative addition to the region’s sports infrastructure, especially given the growing demand for structured spaces.
