Reconstruction of Stade Tessema, Casablanca
An international design competition for a new 15,000-seat football stadium in Casablanca, Morocco, meeting modern and sustainable standards.
The project involves the complete reconstruction of the existing Stade Tessema, which is in a deteriorated state, with aged concrete stands and inadequate facilities. The proposed stadium will be a partially covered structure located in the urban area of Sidi Othmane, Casablanca, accessible via Boulevard Al Joulane and Avenue Abdelkader Sahraoui. The brief calls for a multifunctional stadium that aligns with FIFA standards, supports smart technologies (e.g. LED lighting, water and energy management, high-speed connectivity), and ensures universal accessibility. Architects must deliver a solution that combines architectural innovation, structural performance, user comfort, and sustainable integration into the urban fabric.
