Opened in 2011, the Grand Stade de Marrakech hosts Kawkab Athletic Club Marrakech home games. In addition to hosting hundreds of other events since its opening, the stadium has proven its active involvement in the markets for commercial, cultural, and sporting activities. Its walls, towers, and minarets are reinterpreted in its architecture to help define its identity, drawing inspiration from the city’s old medina.
By 2028, a two-fold modernisation process will have seamlessly integrated the stadium’s four monumental columns and new canopy into its structure, ensuring complete roof coverage, with improved visibility and proximity to the action. The stadium is now undergoing renovations that involve lowering the pitch level by 6 meters when the athletics track is removed, adding lower tribunes, and modernizing and upgrading the entire structure. The stadium can accommodate 45,860 people in total by 2028, with 119 VVIP, 828 VIP, and 4,077 hospitality and skybox seats available.
