Two of Morocco’s most storied football clubs, Wydad and Raja Casablanca, are set to share a new home. The unveiling of the Grand Stade de Casablanca marks a significant milestone for both teams and the footballing landscape in Morocco.
Located in the province of Benslimane, the Grand Stade de Casablanca boasts a remarkable capacity of 115,000, surpassing renowned stadiums like the Bernabéu and the Spotify Camp Nou.
This state-of-the-art facility is poised to become the epicenter of footballing action for both Wydad and Raja Casablanca.
Initially slated for completion in 2028, the stadium’s early unveiling offers a glimpse into its grandeur and significance.
Not only will it serve as the home ground for both clubs, but it also holds the potential to become the fortress for the Atlas Lions, the national team of Morocco.
However, the stadium’s location, situated 50 kilometers from Casablanca, presents a logistical challenge for supporters accustomed to the convenience of the city’s proximity.
Despite this inconvenience, the allure of the Grand Stade de Casablanca and its unparalleled facilities promise to attract fans from far and wide.
For Wydad Casablanca, whose current home, the Mohammed V Stadium, boasts a capacity of 67,000 seats, the transition to the new stadium signifies a significant upgrade in infrastructure and resources.
With Raja Casablanca already sharing the Mohammed V Stadium, the prospect of cohabitation in the Grand Stade de Casablanca offers a simpler and more harmonious arrangement for both clubs.
As Wydad and Raja Casablanca embark on this new chapter together, the Grand Stade de Casablanca stands as a testament to the enduring passion and dedication of Moroccan football fans, promising to be a symbol of pride and unity for years to come.
