$10 Billion Airport Update Planned for 2030 World Cup
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Morocco has launched a major overhaul of its airport system as part of a new multibillion-euro deal between its national airport authority and the government ahead of the 2030 World Cup. Newsweek has contacted the Moroccan Airports Authority via email for more information on the overhaul. Why It Matters Morocco's announcement of a sweeping airport infrastructure overhaul is a cornerstone of the country's preparation to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal. With a planned investment of 38 billion dirhams (about $10 billion), officials are targeting a dramatic increase in the nation's airport capacity. The country seeks to redefine its tourism industry, handle a record influx of visitors and showcase North Africa on a global stage. What To Know On July 24, Moroccan authorities unveiled a five-year investment program co-funded by the government and the Moroccan Airports Authority, allocating $10 billion to their airport expansion plan. The goal is to raise national airport capacity from 38 million passengers per year to 80 million by 2030. Marrakech Menara Airport in Morocco on November 10, 2009.

Getty Images The Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca is expected to see a major new terminal constructed to boost its capacity by an additional 20 million passengers, with an overall airport target of 23.3 million annual travelers. This overhaul comes alongside a 22 billion-euro (about $23.7 billion) national rail expansion approved by King Mohammed VI, featuring new high-speed lines connecting major cities and the construction of the Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca, which is set to hold 115,000 spectators. Tourism is central to the Moroccan economy. Last year, the country set a record by welcoming 17.4 million foreign visitors, a 20 percent year-on-year rise. Officials project the country will reach 26 million visitors annually by 2030. What People Are Saying Following the announcement of the Kenitra-Marrakech high-speed rail line, the Moroccan Embassy in Finland wrote on X in April: "His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, launched, on Thursday at the Rabat-Agdal train station, the 430-kilometer Kenitra-Marrakech High-Speed Rail Line. "The Kenitra-Marrakech High Speed Rail Line project reflects the Sovereign's enlightened Vision of improving the national rail service, and is in line with the Kingdom's strategic orientations, under the impetus of His Majesty the King, in terms of sustainable development, particularly promoting low-carbon footprint collective mobility solutions." What Happens Next Morocco's government, airports authority and private contractors have begun moving forward with tenders for new terminals and expansions, with construction activities anticipated to intensify through 2026. Officials hope that the airport and related infrastructure projects will drive job creation in sectors ranging from construction to hospitality and transport, helping to upskill the Moroccan workforce in anticipation of sustained tourism growth.

Lionesses' triumph: England to celebrate back-to-back European titles with open-top parade
LONDON (AP) — The Lionesses are heading back home to celebrate. England successfully defended its Women's European Championship title by beating world champion Spain in a shootout in the final in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday. After becoming the first England team to win a major tournament on foreign soil, the squad will celebrate its victory with a trip to Downing Street later on Monday. Celebrations will continue on Tuesday with an open-top bus parade in central London, ending with a ceremony in front of Buckingham Palace. Ahead of the players' arrival, a spokesperson for the country's soccer federation advised fans not to travel to the airport where they will land due to 'limited space,' urging them instead to join the planned homecoming celebrations. Fans erupted with joy across England after Chloe Kelly lashed in her spot kick to give her team a 3-1 win on penalties, after a 1-1 draw following extra time. According to the BBC, a peak live audience of 12.2 million watched the game across its platforms, making it the most watched television moment of 2025 across all TV broadcasters. King Charles III said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following its win. 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can,' he added. The reception at Downing Street, where Saint George's flags — also known as the flag of England — were on display, will be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation,' British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' It was back-to-back European trophies for England and yet another final that Kelly had a huge impact on, after also coming on as a substitute during the Euro 2022 trophy match and scoring the winner against Germany in extra time to clinch a 2-1 victory.

Trump making unprecedented second state visit to UK: Buckingham Palace
President Trump will make an unprecedented second state visit to the United Kingdom between Sept. 17 and Sept. 19, Buckingham Palace announced on Monday. Trump formally accepted King Charles III's invitation, according to the palace, and will visit Windsor Castle along with first lady Melania Trump. Trump is a rare head of state accorded a second state visit. He first enjoyed the pomp and pageantry during his state visit in 2019, when he was hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Other U.S. presidents have traveled to the U.K. after a state visit for lunch or tea with the monarch, but none were invited for a second state visit. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer presented the president with the formal invitation during his White House visit in February. While the king formally extends the invitation, he does so at the request of the government. At the time, Trump called it a 'great, great honor' and appeared pleased to be staying at Windsor Castle, The Associated Press noted. 'That's really something,' he said at the time. The second state visit comes as Starmer seeks to maintain friendly ties with the U.S. His approach seems to have benefited the U.K., which is one of the only nations to have struck a trade deal to avoid some of Trump's steepest tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
