Map of the Gibraltar Strait ShutterstockThe idea of building a crossing to connect the European and African continents dates back to the 1930s. The decision of FIFA to hold the 2030 World Cup in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal may breathe new life into this project. Could a tunnel containing a high-speed rail link be built in time for football fans to use? The “Europe-Africa Gibraltar Strait fixed link” project involves the construction of an underwater tunnel housing a high-speed rail link connecting Spain and Morocco. According to various sources, including the Spanish publication ‘La Razón,’ the proposed rail link would span 42 kilometres.
