Morocco plans to add 60,000 hotel beds to its accommodation capacity ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, representing an increase of about 20% from current levels, according to Tourism Minister Fatim-Zahra Ammor. The announcement was made on Monday, July 20, 2026, as reported by local media.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to modernize Morocco's tourism infrastructure in preparation for co-hosting the tournament alongside Spain and Portugal. The 2030 World Cup will mark the first time the event is held across two continents, with Morocco being the first African nation to co-host.
Minister Ammor stated that the new beds will be distributed across major cities and tourist destinations, with a focus on sustainable development and quality standards. The plan also includes training programs for hospitality staff to ensure world-class service.
Morocco's current hotel capacity is estimated at around 300,000 beds, according to industry figures. The expansion aims to meet the expected influx of fans and visitors during the tournament, which is scheduled to take place in June and July 2030.
