Morocco PM urges federation to halt 2030 World Cup final promises
Morocco's prime minister warned the head of its football federation to stop making promises about the 2030 World Cup final. Meanwhile, the Spanish federation's chief has called for the tournament to be staged in Spain.
Morocco's prime minister warned the head of the Moroccan Football Federation to stop making promises about the 2030 World Cup final.
The comment comes as Morocco is a candidate to host the 2030 tournament, and there have been rumours that the federation has been hinting at a final location.
In contrast, the head of the Spanish federation has said that the 2030 final should be played in Spain, adding to the debate over the host city.
The remarks highlight the growing scrutiny of national federations and the political pressure surrounding the selection of host venues for the World Cup.
The federation is expected to respond to the prime minister's warning, while the Spanish federation may push its proposal in the next CAF or FIFA meetings.
