Battle for the 2030 World Cup Final: Spain and Morocco Want to Host
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Morocco and Spain are in discussions over the right to host the final of the 2030 World Cup, while FIFA's beleaguered president, Gianni Infantino, lurks behind the scenes. FIFA has yet to officially announce which country will host the most important match of the biggest football event. Although the 2026 edition just concluded with Spain winning the title this summer, Moroccan and Spanish officials are asserting their claim to host the next final. The competition for the match comes as Spain is still reeling from a massive border crossing of tens of thousands of migrants who surged from Morocco into the Spanish North African enclave at the end of July. A significant match for two proud countries. The head of Moroccan football boasted on Thursday that his country had it secured. 'The city of Benslimane will host the World Cup final. Whether you like it or not, and if anyone wants to talk about anything else, let them talk,' said Fouzi Lakjaa, president of the Moroccan federation, at a political rally.
