Casablanca Ramps Up Preparations for 2025 Africa Cup of Nations

Casablanca is bustling with preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN Morocco 2025). In this regard, the Casablanca Regional Council studied, during its last extraordinary session, the rehabilitation of certain stadiums that will host the activities planned on the sidelines of the African tournament. The projects to redevelop the road axes connecting the Grand Stade de Casablanca, located in the province of Benslimane, to the prefecture of Mohammédia, were also examined. The council allocated part of its contribution to financing expropriation operations in the urban areas of the communes of Bouznika and Mansouria (province of Benslimane), as well as to the redevelopment of the networks related to the roads covered by the agreement. It also entrusted the implementation of the network transfer project to the Société régionale des services multiples and the company Redal, responsible for the distribution of water, electricity and liquid sanitation.

The council approved a framework agreement on household waste management signed between the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry Delegate to the Ministry of Economy and Finance in charge of the Budget, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, as well as the regional councils of the kingdom. Another framework agreement in the field of water was signed between the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry Delegate to the Ministry of Economy and Finance in charge of the Budget, the Ministry of Equipment and Water, as well as all the regions of Morocco. A draft framework agreement between the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the regional councils of the Kingdom, on the financing of the investment program related to the new model of delegated management contracts for urban and collective transport at the national level, was also validated.
