The 2013 Club World Cup ended with Bayern Munich’s victory, and Morocco incurred an estimated overdraft of 11 million euros for organizing the event, as reported by the French daily Le Monde. FIFA President Sepp Blatter acknowledged Morocco’s efforts but questioned the financial gains. Despite Minister Mohamed Ouzzine’s claim of 88 million euros in direct revenue, Capital consulting estimated organizational costs at 62 million euros. The shortfall of 11 million euros raises concerns, but Blatter believes Morocco’s successful hosting enhances its chances to bid for the 2026 World Cup.
