The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) President, Mr. Fouzi Laqjaa, expressed his vision for what he believes will be the greatest edition of the tournament in football history.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony of the official logo for the joint FIFA World Cup 2030 bid between Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, held in Lisbon, Mr. Laqjaa emphasized the shared objective of delivering the most exceptional World Cup in the annals of the sport.
“Our goal is to create an extraordinary event that unites the sporting, humanitarian, and cultural dimensions,” remarked Mr. Laqjaa during his address.
Highlighting the unique cultural and historical ties that bind the Mediterranean region, Mr. Laqjaa stressed that the collective strength of Morocco, Spain, and Portugal extends beyond geographical boundaries, enriched by centuries of shared history and diverse civilizations.
The prospect of organizing the World Cup across three nations and two continents is underpinned not only by logistical capabilities but also by the humanitarian values ingrained in the Mediterranean basin.
Mr. Laqjaa underscored the importance of reviving the cultural heritage of the region, empowering youth to draw lessons from its rich history, and fostering a future that embraces humanitarian ideals.
According to Mr. Laqjaa, the ambition of the three countries is to amplify the cultural, humanitarian, and social dimensions that have united them throughout history, enhancing the profound connections among nations and peoples.
The fervor of the youth and populations of the three nations for football on continental and global stages further underscores the significance of football in strengthening cultural, humanitarian, and social ties.
