World-Class Venue Awaits Super Eagles in Fès

The Complexe Sportif de Fès, a 45,000-capacity stadium in Morocco, is fully prepared to host Nigeria’s Super Eagles Group C matches at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, starting with their opener against Tanzania on Tuesday, December 23, 2025.

A recent inspection confirms the facility is in top shape: the pitch is lush and green, mirroring the high-quality surfaces many Super Eagles players experience at their European clubs.

Operational scoreboards, fully equipped media centers, and press conference rooms are already in use, ensuring smooth operations for the tournament.

With these world-class conditions, the Super Eagles have every advantage to navigate Group C – which also includes Tunisia and Uganda – and advance comfortably.

Stadium History and Features

Originally planned by Moroccan architects in 1992, construction began in 1994 but faced delays, completing in 2003. It hosted matches for the 1997 U-20 AFCON (shared with Meknes).

Renovated for Morocco’s 2006 and 2010 World Cup bids, capacity increased by 5,000 seats to 45,000.

The complex includes a media room, first aid center, infirmary, doping control room, and parking for 7,500 cars and 350 coaches.

As AFCON 2025 unfolds, Fès stands ready to deliver memorable moments for Nigeria’s quest for a fourth title.
