Fes is making significant strides towards achieving two strategic goals with its upcoming role in hosting the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 and contributing to the organization of the 2030 World Cup. The city is advancing steadily in its preparations across various levels, enhancing its status as a global sports and tourism destination.
Sports Infrastructure Upgrades to International Standards
The city is witnessing noticeable progress in upgrading its sports infrastructure, particularly at the Fes Sports Complex, which is being renovated according to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) standards and FIFA requirements. These improvements include enhancing the pitch, upgrading the stands, and equipping modern facilities for teams and fans.
Enhancing Transport and Tourism Infrastructure
Local authorities, in coordination with various stakeholders, are working on expanding the road and transportation networks to facilitate movement between Fes and neighboring cities, including connections to tourist sites and hotels. The tourism sector is also experiencing a significant boost, with an increase in hotel capacity and the refurbishment of tourism facilities to meet the anticipated demand during both tournaments.
Dual Benefit: Africa and the World
Ongoing projects aim to maximize the benefit of the infrastructure for both AFCON and the World Cup, ensuring that the legacy of these events will provide long-term benefits for the city beyond the tournaments.
Local and International Cooperation
These preparations are being carried out in partnership between local authorities, elected officials, and close collaboration with national authorities to ensure the success of these major sporting events.
With its rich history and status as a cultural and civilizational hub, Fes is working through these milestones to further solidify its position on the global map—not just as a sports destination but as a symbol of sustainable development and well-organized events.
Fes News will continue to cover all developments related to these strategic projects to ensure the city’s success in hitting two birds with one stone.
