A proposed tunnel connecting Morocco and Portugal has been discussed for years, with recent reports suggesting a cost of €800 million. However, as of May 2026, no official feasibility study or funding commitment has been announced by either government.
The idea, often linked to broader infrastructure plans for the 2030 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, remains in early conceptual stages. Experts note that major undersea tunnels typically cost billions, not hundreds of millions.
No credible sources confirm the €800 million figure. The project faces significant technical and financial hurdles, including the deep Gibraltar Strait and seismic risks. Both countries have not released any binding agreements or timelines.
