Tips for Visiting Mohammed V Stadium
- Arrive at least 60-90 minutes before kickoff for major matches to get through security and find your gate without the worst of the crowd surge.
- Use public transport or official match shuttles where possible to avoid matchday traffic and limited parking around the stadium; taxis are often slower on exit.
- Follow the gate and sector printed on your ticket and stick to stewarding instructions-many visitors miss upper‑tier views because they don't check access restrictions in advance.
