Grand Stade d’Agadir received a 23 MDH boost on Monday for landscape maintenance and irrigation upkeep across 152 hectares of surrounding urban parkland.
Agadir Souss-Massa Aménagement released the four-year funding package to preserve green spaces outside the stadium’s core athletic facilities, according to reporting by Les Inspirations ÉCO.
The new investment builds on earlier preparations for international fixtures, including the Africa Cup of Nations held from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. The wider precinct forms part of structural upgrades for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host alongside Spain and Portugal.
Work crews manage five distinct irrigation zones
Work crews will manage five distinct zones across the 152-hectare project area outside the sports venue. The footprint covers an eight-hectare outer road network, a 12-hectare esplanade, 108 hectares of indoor landscaped parks, and the 24-hectare Oued Laouar natural sector.
Hydraulic maintenance targets three large basins with a combined capacity of 17,400 cubic meters. The network also relies on 90,000 meters of piping, 400,000 linear meters of drip irrigation lines, and 293 solenoid valves.
Contract specifications require ongoing horticultural upkeep and plant replacement. Crews have already planted more than 30,000 trees across the parkland surrounding the stadium.
Stadium renovations require significant structural investments
The landscape maintenance contract runs alongside a larger renovation of the stadium proper, which has drawn roughly 3,5 MMDH in total investments. The National Agency for Public Equipment awarded an initial 1.08 billion dirham contract for structural work, waterproofing, and surface finishes.
Three subsequent lots valued at 2,419 MMDH cover stadium roofs, facades, fluid technical installations, and electrical grids. These upgrades are designed to satisfy technical and functional mandates set by FIFA.
Spending exceeds 500 MDH for development projects
Total spending on the urban and landscape development project has already exceeded 500 MDH, a figure that includes an Olympic swimming pool and a large indoor hall within the Agadir sports city.
The newly announced 23 MDH maintenance agreement will disburse funds over a four-year implementation window. Operations follow on infrastructure milestones established during the recent continental tournament cycle.
