Morocco: Abandoned stadium offered by billionaire

At a time when sporting initiatives are multiplying in Morocco, and in Tangier in particular, the city’s national cricket stadium, built in 2002 by the Emirati millionaire, Abdul Rahman Bukhatir, with the aim of promoting cricket in the Arab world, has fallen into disrepair.

The National Cricket Stadium in Tangier has aged sadly, due to lack of maintenance. Its wicket has been transformed into a feeding ground for sheep. A digger can be seen stuck in the mud in the outfield. Since 2013, no cricket match has been played in the stadium, notes Achkayn.
