With four years to go before the tournament, the latest phase of work will focus on the stadium’s electrical systems, technology, safety equipment and fluid systems.

The larger of the two contracts is estimated at nearly MAD 1.29 billion and covers high- and low-voltage electrical installations. It also includes lighting systems, fire detection and automatic fire suppression systems, as well as IT and telecommunications networks.

The work will also involve installing electronic screens, sound systems and television broadcasting equipment, surveillance cameras and centralized technical management systems designed to support the operation of the stadium during major sporting events and other large-scale gatherings.

The second contract, estimated at more than MAD 228 million, covers fluid-related equipment. This includes sanitary plumbing, fire protection systems, air conditioning and ventilation equipment, as well as smoke extraction systems.

The first contract is scheduled to run for 18 months from the date the work order is issued, while the second is expected to take 15 months. Both contracts include a 24-month warranty period following provisional acceptance of the works.

The two contracts form part of the wider rehabilitation program for the Fez Sports Complex, whose planned 2026 budget stands at around MAD 2.79 billion.

The latest phase is aimed at further upgrading the Grand Stade de Fès to meet the technical and operational requirements of major international competitions ahead of the 2030 World Cup.
