Only a few days after after losing the vote to host the tournament in 2026 to the combined bid from USA, Canada and Mexico, King Mohammed VI of Morocco wants the nation to make a sixth bid to host the World Cup. The King has instructed his country to bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
Confirming this, a member of the 2026 bid committee, Moncef Belkhaya said, “I’m delighted his Majesty King Mohammed VI has taken the decision to make Morocco a bid nation for World Cup 2030. That shows that Morocco is a country of openness, tolerance and shares values of the world, making football a key driver for social development and economic growth. It shows also our perseverance to do better and better for the sake of Morocco and worldwide football.”
In addition to the recently lost 2026 bid, Morocco had previously made bids in 1994, 1998, 2006 and 2010 to host a World Cup
