I announce before your assembly that the Kingdom of Morocco has decided, together with Spain and Portugal, to present a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup,” said H.M. the King in a message on the occasion of the presentation of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Outstanding Achievement Award-2022, awarded to the Sovereign in Kigali, Rwanda.
This joint application, unprecedented in the history of soccer, will be the junction between Africa and Europe, between the north and south of the Mediterranean, and between the African, Arab and Euro-Mediterranean worlds, noted the Sovereign in this message, which was read by the Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Chakib Benmoussa.
The Sovereign has also specified that this candidacy will be that of gathering around the best of both sides, and the demonstration of an alliance of genius, creativity, experience and means.
