The Mohammed V Stadium (Arabic: ملعب محمد الخامس, French: Stade Mohammed V)[2][3] is a multi-purpose stadium which is part of the Mohammed V Athletic Complex (المركب الرياضي محمد الخامس) which is named after King Mohammed V and situated at the heart of Casablanca, Morocco, in the western part of the Maârif neighborhood. The stadium has a seating capacity of 45,891, and is the oldest football stadium in Morocco.

It primarily hosts association football matches, serving as the home ground of the Morocco national football team and local rival football clubs Wydad AC and Raja CA. In 1997, the stadium set a record of attendance of 110,000 during the Casablanca football derby and a match between the Moroccan national team against Ghana. The same record attendance was repeated during Morocco's match against Argentina in 2004.[4]
