Casablanca

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) Africa will hold its next 2026 event in Casablanca, Morocco, following a previous showdown in Lagos. The event is scheduled for October 10.

Morocco is constructing the Grand Stade Hassan II near Casablanca, which will become the world's largest stadium with 115,000 seats. A new $320 million contract has been secured to advance the project.

Sudan's under-17 women's national soccer team competed in Morocco for the first time since the 2023 civil war, facing heavy defeats in qualifiers for the 2028 Olympics. The inexperienced squad, composed of schoolgirls and refugees, highlights efforts to revive women's soccer in Sudan despite ongoing conflict and cultural taboos.
