National Cricket Stadium, Tangier

The stadium was constructed by Dubai-based construction tycoon Abdul Rahman Bukhatir as part of his plan to globalise cricket and spread it throughout the Arab world. The ground was selected to hold the 2002 Morocco Cup, which was a One Day International tri-series competition involving Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. This was the first time One Day Internationals had been held by an affiliate member nation of the International Cricket Council, though top-class cricket hasn't returned to the ground since. In 2004, Morocco played two matches there against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club. ==Facilities==

• Practice area: 6 turf wickets and 2 concrete wickets • Stadium capacity: 5000 • Bowling machines • Large changing rooms for players • Availability for hire upon request • Fitness Centre • SPA: massage, jacuzzi, beauty salon, aromatherapy, reflexology • Sports centre with multiple usage • 72 equipped suites • 56 bungalows • Restaurant • Clubhouse == Decline ==

The stadium has gradually fallen into decline, in doing so casting a shadow over the future of Moroccan Cricket. Due to mismanagement and a lack of funds, the stadium has not been maintained. The wicket that once existed is now a feeding ground for sheep, and there is a digger stuck in mud in the outfield. Cricket matches have not been played in the stadium since 2013. ==List of Centuries==
