Race against time: will the Rabat Stadium be ready in time for AFCON?
The construction of the new Rabat Stadium continues at a rapid pace, with workers tirelessly toiling day and night throughout the week to accelerate the completion process due to tight time constraints.
According to preliminary inspections by several experts, indications suggest that the stadium will be ready before the scheduled delivery date, which is early next year.
However, international news reports lean towards a different narrative, suggesting that it will be impossible for the stadium to be ready before the end of the following year.
Amidst these conflicting perspectives, the teams of companies responsible for building the Rabat Stadium are embarking on a unique challenge.
The first challenge is to complete the project on time, while the second is to prove that the impossible is not Moroccan and that the Moroccan people are lovers of challenges, showcasing their capabilities and excellence in various fields.
The major construction works have reached approximately 40 percent completion, with the entire ground foundations and the construction of the first grandstand already finished.
Work has begun on the construction of the second and third grandstands, with varying progress rates depending on the stadium’s sections.
Simultaneously with the construction of the upper stands, internal finishing works have commenced, with new teams of workers assigned to specific internal tasks.
These parallel works are necessary as internal tasks require considerable time and precision.
If all goes according to plan, the stadium will be ready to host the AFCON competitions, and work will continue immediately after the African football extravaganza.
In the second phase, the stadium will be roofed and fully enclosed using the latest stadium technology.
The Rabat Stadium, under close scrutiny by Moroccans, holds a significant place, given its status and the challenge Morocco has undertaken.
Despite critics and naysayers casting doubts on the decision to demolish the old stadium and build a modern one, some even adamant that the stadium will not be ready, they seem to forget that they are talking about a country where its people do not know the meaning of impossible.
The impossible is just a challenge for Moroccans, and by 2025, the world will witness the true meaning of “Why Moroccans Can.”
