FIFA rebuffs Morocco claim over 2030 World Cup final
FIFA clarified that no final decision has been made on the 2030 World Cup final host, responding to Moroccan federation boss Fouzi Lekjaa’s bold claims favoring Casablanca over Madrid.
Morocco's Prime Minister, Aziz Akhannouch, has instructed the head of the country's football federation to cease promising that the 2030 World Cup final will take place in Morocco. Spain asserts that the final should occur in Spain, following their victory in the men's World Cup this summer. FIFA, the global governing body of football and organiser of the World Cup, has stated that a decision will be made in due time.
At a political gathering, Morocco's Prime Minister emphasized that there should be respect and cautioned against using electoral promises to undermine the situation. Rafael Louzan, president of the Spanish football federation, believes the final will occur in Spain due to their recent World Cup triumph and Spain's proven organizational capabilities for major events.
