Moulay El-Hassan Stadium is a football stadium in the area of El Youssoufia, Rabat, Morocco, which has been the home of FUS Rabat since 2012. The stadium will have a seating capacity of 22,000. The old stadium was renovated in 2012 and demolished in 2024. [1]

Contents

The old stadium was demolished in 2024 as part of Morocco's preparations to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. [2] The renovation project included expanding the stadium's capacity to 22,000 and constructing commercial centers within the venue for it to become a true urban stadium, [3] fully integrated with the surrounding public spaces to actively contribute to the life of Morocco's capital. It represents a contemporary and environmentally conscious expression of Moroccan culture. By combining glazed terracotta—an ancestral material and craftsmanship—with cutting-edge technology and engineering, the stadium features an iconic design that rises majestically into the Rabat skyline.
