FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised on Thursday in New York the progress of the various projects and initiatives underway in Morocco as part of preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which the Kingdom is co-hosting with Spain and Portugal.
“I would like to congratulate His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco, and the government for these achievements that are leading us toward a historic World Cup—the Centenary edition,” Infantino told the press following a meeting held upon his request to review preparations for the tournament. The meeting was attended by Morocco’s Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, and the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel.
The FIFA chief also recalled his recent visit to Morocco, where he toured the Grand Stadium of Tangier and the “magnificent” Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. He emphasized that work is progressing smoothly “not only on the stadiums, but also on infrastructure as a whole.”
“Everything is almost ready. We could practically host the World Cup today,” he said, commending the excellent cooperation between FIFA and Morocco.
Infantino further noted that the meeting, held at FIFA’s office in New York’s Trump Tower, provided an opportunity to discuss the next steps in the co-hosting process for the 2030 World Cup. Talks with the governments and football federations of the host countries are planned along with visits to the tournament’s host cities, he added.
