Summary at a Glance

Design Principal and founding partner at Oualalou + Choi Tarik Oualalou insists the "state-of-the art" stadium "has occupied space and is giving up space around it", unlike other candidates like the Bernabeu, which is located within the city.

Five levels of hospitality along each of the main stands at the side of the pitch will welcome 12,000 VVIP, VIP, Hospitality and Box users, in addition to the Royal box.

That is none other than Morocco's new pride and joy, the Stade Hassan II.

The ground, which has a provisional budget of 5billion dirhams (£381million), will also serve as the home of Morocco's national football team and two local clubs.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2028 and the stadium will be built on a surface of 100 hectares in the province of Benslimane, which is some 38km north of Casablanca.
