Morocco, Spain, and Portugal’s 2030 World Cup bid receives positive FIFA evaluation

The joint bid of Morocco, Spain, and Portugal to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup has garnered significant support from FIFA, with the proposal earning an impressive score of 4.2 out of 5 in the federation’s technical evaluation.

The collaboration, branded “YallaVamos!”, has exceeded the minimum requirements and is now one step closer to securing the coveted tournament.

FIFA’s assessment highlighted the bid’s ability to unite three nations with a shared passion for football, underscoring the strong cultural and sporting ties that make the proposal stand out.

Financially, the project shows robust prospects, particularly in broadcast rights, sponsorships, and ticket sales, ensuring solid commercial viability.

The report also praised the ongoing development of sports infrastructure, particularly in Morocco, where stadiums are being built in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

FIFA emphasized the quality of the proposed plans and the confidence surrounding their execution.

In comparison, South America’s bid to host the World Cup, with matches in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and Asuncion, scored 3.6 out of 5. FIFA also noted that this proposal was part of efforts to celebrate the centenary of the World Cup.

The final decision on the 2030 host will be made on December 11, with the bid receiving strong backing since October 2023.

If the evaluation stands, this historic tournament could soon be headed to Morocco, Spain, and Portugal.
