“The announcement of this joint candidacy came at an ideal time, as the spotlight is on Moroccan football following the exceptional performance of the Moroccan national team at the World Cup in Qatar, which is likely to strengthen the chances of this file,” Mr. Kamanga stressed in a statement to MAP.
The president of the Zambian Football Federation noted that “Morocco has all the capacities that qualify it to organize the World Cup”, adding that “the level of football in Morocco is very high, and compared to the rest of the African countries, it seems clear that Morocco has the best equipment thanks to the enormous investments that the Kingdom has made in the areas of infrastructure and training.”
HM King Mohammed VI announced on Tuesday Morocco’s joint bid, with Spain and Portugal, to host the 2030 World Cup, in a message on the occasion of the presentation of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Excellence Award for the year 2022 (CAF President’s Outstanding Achievement Award-2022).
This joint candidacy, unprecedented in the history of football, will be that of the junction between Africa and Europe, between the north and the south of the Mediterranean, and between the African, Arab and Euro-Mediterranean worlds, noted the Sovereign.
HM the King also specified that this candidacy will be one of gathering around the best of both sides, and the demonstration of an alliance of genius, creativity, experience and means.
