🇪🇸 FIFA deny offering the final to Morocco; RFEF unaware

The RFEF has responded to The Times’ exclusive report claiming that FIFA had offered Morocco the 2030 World Cup final in Casablanca. Federation sources consulted by AS say they have no knowledge of any such offer.

In addition, Cadena SER reports that the RFEF has assured them it has no knowledge of the alleged offer, and the Moroccan federation has gone as far as to deny the information. From Spain, there is confidence that their plans to host the final will move forward.

Diario AS and the EFE news agency further report FIFA’s official denial, with the organization describing The Times’ information as “false and misleading.”

The governing body insists it will make the decision “in due course” and rules out any promises made for electoral purposes.

President Infantino is going through his worst moment following the failure of his World Cup privatization plan. Criticism from several confederations has continued ever since.
