The Atlas Lions host Ghana in a friendly on Sunday 4 October 2026 at the Grand Stade de Tanger. A Sunday, a big stadium, two teams that know each other well: many fans will come from Rabat, Casablanca, Tétouan or Spain for the day and head home the same evening.
This kind of day has one weak spot, always the same: the bag. You arrive in the morning with your things, you can't leave them in a friend's car, and the stadium is not a place you want to walk into with a suitcase.
Short answer
Match on Sunday 4 October 2026 at the Grand Stade de Tanger, about ten kilometres from the centre. The kick-off time is announced by the Federation. Drop your bags in town before heading to the stadium: a point near the Grand Socco is open from 11am to 11pm, Sunday included, for 9 MAD per hour per bag.
What we know about the match
Fixture: Morocco vs Ghana, international friendly.
Date: Sunday 4 October 2026.
Venue: Grand Stade de Tanger.
Kick-off and ticketing: not yet announced when the match was confirmed. Follow the official channels of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, and only buy your tickets from the official ticket office.
Getting to the Grand Stade from the centre
The stadium is about ten kilometres from the city centre, towards the Rabat road. By taxi, allow 20 to 25 minutes on a normal day. On a match night, the surroundings are gridlocked: leave early, and expect the return trip to take noticeably longer than the way there.
For big matches, the city's transport company has already set up shuttles and an information portal, "Accès Stade". Check a few days beforehand whether it is running for this match: it is the most reliable source for departure points.
Arriving in Tangier on the day
By train: the Al Boraq links Casablanca, Rabat and Kénitra to Tanger-Ville station. Book early, Sunday evening trains fill up fast on a match day.
By ferry from Tarifa: you arrive at Tanger Ville port, right in the centre. Mind your passport, the check is done on board; we cover everything in our Tarifa-Tangier ferry guide.
By car or coach from Tétouan or elsewhere in the North: same logic, better to park your belongings in town than leave them visible in a vehicle near the stadium.
Why not to bring your bag to the stadium
Big stadiums run security checks at the entrance and restrict bulky bags. Even when a small bag gets through, a suitcase or a large travel bag will cost you time at the gates, and you will be carrying it for two hours in the stands. And on the way out, with tens of thousands of people leaving at the same time, you want your hands free.
Where to leave your bags in Tangier this Sunday
Near the Grand Socco: a partner shop on rue Amérique du Sud, next to the Fondouk Chejra, about 200 metres from the Grand Socco. Open from 11am to 11pm every day. It is the best choice if you are spending the day in town before the match.
Near the Plaza de Toros: a second point, open from 3pm to 10pm every day.
Price: 9 MAD per hour per bag, capped at 59 MAD per day. You book online, the shopkeeper scans your QR code and takes a time-stamped photo of your bags.
The thing to check: what time the match ends. If kick-off is late, your return from the stadium may be after the point closes. In that case, collect your bags before heading to the stadium and keep only the essentials, or plan to stay the night.
