2025 AFCON: Fes Stadium Ready To Host Super Eagles Group Phase Matches

The 45,000 capacity Fes stadium in Morocco is ready to host the Super Eagles Group C matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

A quick check on the facility by Completesports.com on Monday, 22 December, ahead of the Super Eagles’ group stage opener with Tanzania shows that all is now set for fixtures to take place.

Players of the Super Eagles would have no excuse not to put up a good showing against their opponents, as the pitch is lush green which is similar to what most of them are use to in their various clubs in Europe.

Also, the two score boards are already in operation, the media centres as well as the press conference room are already being put to use.

The Super Eagles should not have any excuse not to make it out of Group C with ease, as the world class facility on offer should aid them to manoeuver their way in the first hurdle in the tournament.

The plans of the Fes stadium realized by Moroccan architects and engineers and the launching of the works was done in 1992, but it is only two years later that it started its construction which had to be finished in 1997 to shelter with the stadium of Honor of Meknes 1997 U-20 AFCON organized by Morocco.

The stadium was not delivered on time, mainly because of technical problems, and it was not until 2003 that the work was completed.

The entire complex includes a media room, a first aid center, an infirmary and a doping control room, while the stadium car park at the visitors’ disposal can accommodate up to 7500 cars and 350 coaches.

This stadium also entered Morocco’s candidacy for the organization of the football world cup in 2006 and 2010. Thus, on this occasion the complex was completely renovated and had slight modifications with the addition of 5000 places and its total capacity was increased to 45,000 seats.
