Stade Mohammed V

The Stade Mohammed V first opened its doors on March 6, 1955. The stadium was originally named Stade Marcel-Cerdan after the French boxer, but after Morocco gained independence one year later, it was renamed Stade d'honneur.

The stadium's capacity was initially 30,000, but it was increased to 90,000 in the late 1970s in preparation for the Mediterranean Games of 1983. The stadium was renamed after Mohammed V, the former King of Morocco, following its reopening.

Following Morocco's bid for the 2010 World Cup, Stade Mohammed V had a massive renovation in the 2000s. The capacity was lowered to 67,000 seats when benches were replaced with seats.

The Stade Mohammed V is located in Casablanca's west end, around 3 kilometers from the city's central Mohammed V Square and a bit further from the Old Medina. Between Mohammed V Square and the stadium is the modern Maarif neighborhood.

Capacity: 67,100 seats
