2030 World Cup: Moroccan official told to stop making 2030 final promise

Fouzi Lekjaa (left) with Fifa president Gianni Infantino during this summer's World Cup, which was co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico Morocco's prime minister has told the head of the country's football federation to stop making promises about the 2030 World Cup final, as Spain says it should be staged there." Rafael Louzan, president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF), has previously said the final will be held in Spain, and felt their claim has been strengthened by winning the men's World Cup for the second time this summer.

Spain beat Argentina to win this year's World Cup in July, although New Jersey was not confirmed as the host of the final until February 2024, two years before the tournament took place.
