The distinction of hosting the Fifa World Cup 2030 has been granted to Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. This marks Morocco’s sixth attempt to acquire the highly coveted hosting rights.
The decision, which comes exactly one month after a deadly earthquake in Morocco, is anticipated to raise the emotions of the country as a whole.
As a second unexpected development, FIFA said that Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay would all play host to World Cup matches as part of the organization’s plans to commemorate the first 100 years since the World Cup was first held in Uruguay in 1930.
The decision to join forces with Spain and Portugal shows the rising trend of collaborative hosting in international sports, putting a focus on togetherness among countries who have a similar passion for football.
In 1994, 1998, and 2006, Morocco made a number of unsuccessful bids to host the World Cup. All of these initiatives were ultimately unsuccessful.
South Africa was selected as the host nation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup despite the fact that FIFA only allowed African countries to submit bids for the event. In a similar vein, Morocco’s bid for the tournament in 2026 did not succeed, as it was defeated by a consortium of bids from North American nations.
The recent achievements of Morocco’s national football team, which include advancing to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup and claiming victories against Spain and Portugal along the road, have shown the nation’s strength on the pitch.
According to a research published by the World Bank, as Morocco gets ready to host the Fifa World Cup 2030, the country is looking forward to not only making its imprint on the annals of the tournament’s history but also to the possibility of seeing a boost to its economy, which has been struggling with issues like as drought and inflation.
