An activity gap accompanying the finals of "World Cup 2026" in the largest Moroccan city.

The city of Casablanca has not yet witnessed any official preparations or announced programs to accompany the World Cup competitions hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which will kick off on June 11.

Despite the fact that this sporting event is expected to attract wide interest from the residents of the economic capital, which is one of the cities most passionate about football, current indicators suggest that various districts have not yet received any official program related to activating public spaces or organizing designated areas to follow the matches of the "Atlas Lions."

District heads who spoke to Hespress confirmed that preparations have not yet begun to provide suitable conditions for following the national team's matches, noting that the Casablanca municipality has not sent any correspondence on the matter.

According to sources from the newspaper, the local development company "Casablanca for Animation and Events," which now oversees these activities, has not announced any specific program for the districts or public spaces that could host parallel activities or broadcasts of the national team's matches during the World Cup, similar to what was done during the Africa Cup of Nations hosted by the kingdom.

In light of this absence, the head of the Ain Sebaa district, Youssef Lahssinia, stated that the district intends to allocate the Boujamii Theater space to enable citizens to follow the national team's matches in suitable conditions, as part of bringing the festive atmosphere closer to the residents and encouraging the national team during its participation in the World Cup.

Lahssinia added, in a statement to Hespress, that this initiative comes in response to the great passion that Casablanca residents show towards the Moroccan national team's matches, indicating that the district is working to provide the necessary logistical conditions to ensure the success of this operation and guarantee collective viewing of the matches.
