King Mohammed VI has announced that Morocco, together with Spain and Portugal, will submit a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
This announcement was made in a royal message on the occasion of the presentation, in Kigali, of the CAF Excellence Award for the year 2022 awarded to King Mohammed VI and the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame.
Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, as well as Britain, have also announced their candidacy to host the 2030 World Cup.
The Spanish and Portuguese federations had initially moved away from including Morocco in the joint bid due to FIFA’s lack of enthusiasm for joint files from different continents, but have become more open to including Morocco in their joint bid, after their previous reluctance due to FIFA’s lack of interest in cross-continent joint bids.
Morocco’s candidacy will be reinforced by its credibility in Africa and the whole world, a country which seeks to position itself among the great countries of the world, a country with institutions. its location as a gateway to europe while belonging to africa. the pairing of Spaniards and Portuguese was not done at random. Morocco is a country with guarantees.
