At a time when the post-Covid world remains divided and faces several outbreaks of bloody conflict and social instability in Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and the Sahel, the Middle East and Latin America, and an economic crisis resulting from the rise of inflation due to various factors such as the real estate crisis, the increase in the price of petroleum products, etc., the announcement by the Council of the Organization of the International Football Federation – FIFA, that the 2030 FIFA World Cup will be held jointly take place organized by Morocco, Portugal and Spain with the holding of three opening matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay coinciding with the centenary of the Football World Cup, came to affirm the struggle of the king sport, football, in preserving the spirit of unity among the peoples of the world, universal diversity should be emphasized not only in the celebration of football, but also to promote cultural cohesion, brotherhood and harmony among peoples, peace, tolerance and inclusivity and contribute to the projection of economic and social development.
The news of FIFA’s unanimous decision to favor the candidacy of Morocco, Portugal and Spain as hosts for the organization of the event in 2030 constitutes in its magnitude a demonstration of confidence on a global scale in the potential of Morocco’s candidacy , Portugal and Spain, countries that already have a world-class sports infrastructure, from stadiums, training centers, etc…, as well as proven organizational experience in previous competitions at continental and international level, modern hotel structures with the capacity to welcome fans of the world football, press and communications centers equipped with advanced technology, etc.
As a Portuguese-Moroccan citizen, the historic achievement of Morocco, which is now one of the hosts of this world event that will take place in 2030 under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohamed VI, may God help him, is without a doubt an explosion of joy and satisfaction, a consecration of the long-sought dream, and which now, thanks to the wise vision of His Majesty King Mohamed VI, may God help him, has become a long-awaited and desired reality, the pride and source of joy and inspiration for all of us, an international recognition of the image of Morocco, a mission whose responsibility must be shared with Portugal and Spain to prepare an unprecedented candidacy, which will make history by uniting the world around football in an atmosphere of harmony and peace.
I am confident that the candidacy of these three countries will bring the desired success and related expectations, especially in the areas of international projection and economic and social development. And that the 2030 edition, given that it is a candidacy of three countries with a very close geographical position in the Mediterranean, which are considered very rich in terms of culture and tradition, and which jointly share common historical ties, also a candidacy from two continents that are very close to each other and also share many common ties – will certainly make the world tournament a highly sought-after event that can attract many round ball fans.
