The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) revealed the details of the Morocco-Portugal-Spain 2030 World Cup bid on Wednesday, just days after it was submitted by the three countries in Paris.

The bid file includes a map showing Morocco in full alongside Portugal and Spain. Spain proposed 11 stadiums, Portugal proposed three, and Morocco nominated six: Tangier, Fez, Marrakech, Agadir, Casablanca, and Rabat.

According to FIFA, the Agadir stadium will have a capacity of 46,000 spectators, the Hassan II stadium in Casablanca will accommodate 115,000 spectators, the Fez stadium 55,000, the Marrakech stadium 45,000, and the Prince Moulay Abdallah stadium in Rabat 68,000, which is being rebuilt after being completely demolished. The Tangier stadium will have a capacity of more than 75,000 spectators.

Regarding training and accommodation, the bid includes 94 base camps: 33 in Morocco, 16 in Portugal, and 45 in Spain. Many of these base camps are located outside the host cities, allowing teams that prefer a quieter environment to train away from the hustle and bustle of the competition. Two base camps have also been proposed for referees, one in Casablanca and the other in Madrid.
