Commentator Hafid Draji has sparked fresh debate after speaking openly about a dream scenario for the 2030 World Cup, imagining a final between France and Algeria to be played on Moroccan soil.
Draji’s remarks, shared publicly, centered on the symbolic weight such a match would carry, combining sporting rivalry with history and identity, especially if Morocco were to host the deciding game of the tournament.
The idea comes as the 2030 World Cup is set to be hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal, with opening matches also scheduled in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay as part of the centenary celebration.
Draji’s comments quickly circulated among fans, with reactions split between those who saw it as an emotional football fantasy and others who considered it provocative, given the sensitivity around regional and political issues.
In any case, the scenario remains only a personal wish, but it has once again put the spotlight on the unique backdrop the 2030 tournament could offer if the final were indeed staged in Morocco.
