HIBAPRESS – Ahmed Al-Musaed
The finals of the African Cup of Nations "Morocco 2025" began in the winter season and the repercussions of rainfall on the host stadiums and the extent of the grass's impact, but the Moroccan commitment to providing the best version in the history of the tournament, not only at the organizational level, but by bringing the latest stadium technologies in the world.
At the forefront of these equipment is the advanced "SubAir" system, which has been installed in the major stadiums hosting the tournament, to make the Moroccan stadium grounds "rainproof" and in accordance with the highest "FIFA" standards.
Investment in Sustainability and Quality Equipping stadiums in Morocco is no longer limited to the exterior appearance, but has included the "hidden infrastructure." Stadiums such as (Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, the Grand Stadium of Tangier, and the stadium of Fez…) are equipped with the "SubAir" system, which works as an artificial intelligence system under the turf. This system ensures that no match will stop, no matter how strong the rainstorms are, which reflects the Moroccan ambition to excel over European models.
How does this technology serve the "Morocco CAN" stadiums? Absorbing climatic shocks: Thanks to the system's ability to draw water at lightning speed, we will no longer see "water pools" that hindered the fluidity of the ball in previous versions of the continental tournament. Renewing oxygen for natural grass: The system ensures that the grass remains in excellent condition throughout the tournament, even with the pressure of daily matches, by pumping fresh air to the roots to ensure their rapid growth and strength. Cooling and heating: The "SubAir" technology allows controlling the soil temperature, which protects the grass from weather fluctuations between night and dawn of the winter days in Morocco.
A message to the world: Morocco is ready for the World Cup Adopting this advanced American technology in Moroccan stadiums is a strong message to the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the world as a whole, that Morocco is not only preparing for the African Cup, but is laying the basic building blocks for the 2030 World Cup with smart stadiums that surpass their counterparts in the finest world leagues.
