2030 World Cup: Morocco's Major Infrastructure Projects Creating Opportunities for the Diaspora

The co-hosted 2030 FIFA World Cup represents the largest investment programme in Morocco's modern history. With tens of billions of dirhams committed to infrastructure development, MRE entrepreneurs and investors are presented with an exceptional window of opportunity unlikely to recur for decades to come.

The structural projects are wide-ranging. The Casablanca-Marrakech high-speed rail line (LGV), currently under construction, will open up the kingdom's central tourism corridor. New airports and extensions to existing facilities are planned in Marrakech, Agadir, and Tanger. Six world-class stadiums are being built or renovated, all located in cities with strong tourism potential.

For MRE professionals working in construction and engineering, public tenders are increasing steadily. Specialist subcontractors in electrical works, industrial plumbing, thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as suppliers of construction materials, are particularly in demand. MRE companies with expertise gained in Europe hold a genuine competitive advantage in these markets.

In the tourism sector, demand for quality hospitality is set to surge significantly. MRE investors with available capital can position themselves in tourist residences, boutique riads, or alternative accommodation concepts such as glamping and eco-lodges in areas served by the new infrastructure. The MDM Invest scheme offers tourism investment incentives that can reach several million dirhams for MRE-led projects. We strongly encourage you to contact your regional CRI without delay to ensure you do not miss the project launch phase.
