Morocco’s Committee for the Morocco-Spain-Portugal 2030 World Cup, the body responsible for preparations for the World Cup in Morocco, convened in Fes on Tuesday to discuss the International Association Football Federation’s (FIFA) principal parameters and requirements for holding the tournament.
As part of a regional tour of cities bidding to host tournament matches, the committee addressed infrastructure quality, organizational strategy, and various other preparations. The participants examined a number of plans and challenges and provided suggestions for meeting the FIFA standards.
The group focused on three primary sectors: sporting facilities with respect to football pitches and training sites, transportation and mobility, and accommodation and hotels for both fans and teams.
The Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) delegation, led by General Coordinator Mouad Hajji, was joined by the Fez-Meknes regional governor Said Zniber, and representatives from the Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports, the municipality of Fes, as well as from transportation, tourism, commerce, and industries.
In October, the FIFA executive committee officially selected the Morocco-Spain-Portugal trifecta as the sole candidate to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030.
King Mohammed VI had announced a year ago in March that Morocco would submit a joint bid with Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup, seeking to unite Africa, Europe, and the Mediterranean—as well as the African, Arab, and Euro-Mediterranean worlds—through a historic football bid combining talent, creativity, experience, and resources.
