Morocco’s co-hosting of the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal is giving a boost to the major Ligne grande vitesse (LGV) project connecting Kenitra to Marrakech.

Strengthening passenger safety and improving traffic flow. This is the objective of the National Railway Office (ONCF), which plans to introduce a new access control system to the platforms.

Three new railway stations will soon be built in Casablanca as part of the project to increase the rail capacity between Kenitra and Marrakech.

The South Korean government has expressed a desire for the participation of companies from its country in the $3.6 billion tender launched by Morocco for the acquisition of high-speed trains and the renewal of its train fleet.

The call for competition launched by the National Railway Office (ONCF) to acquire 168 new trains, including 18 high-speed trains, is whetting the appetites. Five international rail manufacturers are competing to win this mega contract.

The project to build the High Speed Line (LGV) between Kénitra and Marrakech is progressing. A consortium has been awarded the work on the tunnel under Rabat.

The construction of the tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar which will connect the two countries, but also Africa and Europe, could be effective before the 2030 World Cup that Morocco and Spain are co-hosting with Portugal.

The Spanish public engineering firm Ineco has won the strategic contract for project management assistance for the ONCF for the extension of the High-Speed Line to Marrakech, ahead of the French company Egis Rail.

The National Railway Office (ONCF) has just awarded the construction of the Hay Riad railway station in Rabat to the Société Générale des Travaux du Maroc (SGTM). The infrastructure should be delivered before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, organized by Morocco.

The National Railway Office (ONCF) has great ambitions for rail transport. This is evidenced by its rail plan unveiled by Mohamed Abdeljalil, Minister of Transport and Logistics.

Morocco and Spain are working on the construction of the tunnel under the Strait before the 2030 World Cup, which they are jointly organizing with Portugal.

Nearly a year after its launch by the National Railway Office (ONCF) and the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Regional Council, the rail link project between Tangier city station and Ibn Battouta airport is making significant progress.
