🏆Bombshell: the 2030 World Cup final could be played in Morocco | OneFootball

The Moroccan Football Federation has launched an aggressive strategy that puts Spain’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup final at risk. From Rabat, they claim to have secured 22 of the 37 votes on the FIFA Council to bring the deciding match to Casablanca.

Key geopolitical alliances

The African offensive, led by Fouzi Lekjaa, has gathered major international backing thanks to three strategic pillars. On the one hand, Donald Trump’s administration fully supports Morocco’s cause, allowing it to secure almost all the Concacaf votes. In addition, the emirate of Qatar and Saudi Arabia guarantee their influence in the Asian bloc, strengthening the advantage alongside the votes of the African Confederation.

And finally, FIFA president Gianni Infantino looks favorably on the Moroccan option because of the extra $150 million in promised revenue.

Concern in Spain

Given this situation, diplomatic sources from the Spanish Federation admit that holding the final at the Santiago Bernabéu or Camp Nou has become an uphill battle. Pessimism is spreading in the face of a balance of influence that has tilted completely toward North Africa.
