“The fact that Morocco is with Spain and Portugal on the same list to apply to organize the 2030 World Cup is a very good thing,” the journalist stressed in a statement to MAP, adding that in a context of crises and conflicts between nations, this candidacy is proof that “football can be a factor of cohesion and peace.”
It is also a candidacy that brings together two continents, which is “healthy,” said the Malian journalist.
Furthermore, he indicated that Morocco’s candidacy with Spain and Portugal “is not a coincidence”, affirming that the Kingdom of Morocco is home to the best sports infrastructure on the continent.
“The last Club World Cup, held last February in Rabat and Tangier, demonstrated that this country was capable of organizing all competitions, whether at continental or global level,” continued this journalist, who was among the group of African media representatives who covered this event.
He noted that Morocco’s candidacy with Spain and Portugal is “a serious candidacy that has every chance of obtaining the organization of the 2030 World Cup because it is a candidacy that goes beyond football.”
HM King Mohammed VI announced on March 14, Morocco’s joint candidacy, 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.
