FÈS

An imperial city with a UNESCO-listed medina and centuries-old traditions: Fès lives and breathes football between its walls and shaded squares. The game here connects generations, echoing through schoolyards and small plazas.

In FÈS, you can

  • Watch a game in the soft hum of Stade de Fès, where spectators chat as much as they cheer, often neighbors or longtime fans.
  • Stroll through the medina past Chouara tanneries, snack on a maâkouda, and stumble upon kids kicking a ball between tourists.
  • Climb to the Borj Sud terrace and hear the echoes of the match — TVs in cafés, cheers between rooftops, the hush before a penalty.
