Stade Moulay Abdellah – historical stadium description
Rabat's largest stadium was built in south-western outskirts of the city in 1983. It never received any major redevelopments, but was thoroughly renovated in 2001, receiving individual seats, many of which were later ripped out.
Apart from hosting games by FAR and Fath Rabat it is also one of the homes for Morocco national team and played host to 1988 CAN matches. It was also proposed to hold 2006 and 2010 World Cup games, when Morocco attempted to become the first ever African hosts.
