Morocco's Atlantic stadium
The Grand Stade d'Agadir — widely known as Stade Adrar — is Morocco's most scenically located World Cup venue. Opened in 2013, it sits near the Atlantic coast in Agadir's sporting complex, with views toward the sea and the surrounding Souss plain. It served as one of the AFCON 2025 venues after a first phase of renovation, and is now undergoing its second phase of works ahead of 2030.
The official project update describes a two-phase renovation. Phase 1 prepared the stadium for AFCON 2025 and increased parking from 2,600 to 4,100 spaces. Phase 2 focuses on full roofing and expanding the stands, with a target of 46,000 gross seats by 2030. FIFA has not announced Agadir's specific match allocation.
Getting to the stadium
From Al Massira Airport (AGA): Agadir's airport is approximately 20km from the city centre. There is no train service between the airport and the city; grand taxis (fixed price ~200 MAD, 30–40 min) and bus services are the main options. Private transfers can be arranged in advance — this is often the most practical choice for groups arriving on charter flights.
No rail connection to Agadir: Agadir is the only Moroccan World Cup host city not served by the national ONCF rail network. Arriving by train is not possible. The main overland options are CTM coach from Marrakech (~3 hours, 90–130 MAD) or Casablanca (~5 hours), or a domestic flight from Casablanca, Rabat, or Marrakech.
Within Agadir: The city is relatively spread out. Petit taxis are the standard way to get around and fares within the city are low (15–30 MAD most journeys). Match-day shuttles between the beach strip and the stadium are likely to be organised by local authorities.
Climate on match days (June–July 2030)
Agadir has one of Morocco's most comfortable summer climates, moderated by Atlantic breezes and the cold Canary Current offshore. June and July temperatures average 22–26°C — significantly cooler than inland Fes or Marrakech during the same period. The 360° roof will provide shade to the full seating bowl. Agadir is likely to be among the most physically comfortable venues in the tournament for fans, including those from hotter climates.
Phase 2 renovation in progress
Phase 2 structural works are ongoing. The stadium hosted AFCON 2025 in its Phase 1 configuration at 42,000 seats. The full 46,000-seat configuration with the new roof will be complete before the 2030 World Cup. Match schedules and ticketing will be confirmed by FIFA closer to the tournament.
Explore Agadir beyond match day
Agadir is Morocco's Atlantic beach resort — a modern, low-rise city rebuilt after a devastating 1960 earthquake, with a long sandy beach, good surf, fresh Atlantic seafood, and a relaxed pace that is quite different from the medina cities. The Agadir Oufella ruins above the city offer sweeping views over the bay. Day trips into the Souss-Massa National Park or the Anti-Atlas mountains are easy to arrange. Agadir is also a popular base for surf camps along the coast toward Taghazout and Tamraght.
