STUNNING plans for the world’s biggest football stadium have been revealed by an expert architectural group.
Populous, who are responsible for some of the world’s most famous arenas and stadiums, have shared their proposal for a 115,000-capacity ground in Casablanca.
The plans show the colossal Grande Stade Hassan II Casablanca Stadium, which could host games at the 2030 World Cup.
Based in Morocco, one of the host nations for the 2030 tournament, the stadium would have an incredible lattice roof facade reminiscent of a circus tent.
Its 115,000 seat capacity would see it dwarf every Premier League ground, offering almost double the amount of seats as Arsenal’s 60,000 capacity Emirates Stadium.
While it would become the largest capacity football ground in the world, pipping North Korea’s Rungardo 1st of May Stadium which holds 114,000 fans.

The proposal details 32 stairways, elevated gardens some 28m above ground and botanical gardens at ground level.
While the ground will have three tiers designed to hold 29,500 fans at either side of the pitch in specifically steep seating to bring supporters closer to the action.
There is also five proposed tiers of hospitality seating with VIP sections, decked out boxes and a custom “royal box” for special guests.
Work has already started on the incredible stadium on a vast 100 hectare piece of land just north of Casablanca.
