The Rabat Olympic Stadium (Arabic: الملعب الأولمبي بالرباط) is a multi-purpose stadium within the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, located seven kilometers from the center of Rabat. With a total capacity of 21,000 seats, the stadium was built in nine months.
The stadium was inaugurated on 25 May 2025, to coincide with the return of the Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat, the fourth stage of the 2025 Diamond League, one year after its exceptional relocation to Marrakech. It hosted three group stage matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.[1] This stadium was built to replace the athletics track that was removed from the Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex.[2]
Construction
[edit]This stadium was built in a record time of nine months (approximately 36 weeks). The allocated budget was nearly 496 million dirhams, plus an additional 32.1 million dirhams for laying the turf and installing the stands.[3] This project required intensive organization, with work proceeding day and night to ensure the stadium was ready before the inauguration of the Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat, the fourth stage of the 2025 Diamond League.[4]
Facilities
[edit]The Rabat Olympic Stadium was designed to replace the athletics track at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium, which was removed to expand and modernize the stadium for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
It features a 400m track that meets World Athletics standards, with a natural grass surface, a modern lighting system, and stands partially covered by a crescent-shaped membrane roof.[5] The structure is spread over four levels:
- Basement: a 14,266m² parking garage, an anti-doping center, cryotherapy and weight training rooms, changing rooms, and a TV studio
- Ground floor: VIP/VVIP lounges, refreshment areas
- 1st floor: a conference room and a meeting room
- 2nd floor: lounge areas, audiovisual control rooms, and a TV studio
