Spanje ziet een opening na een reeks incidenten in verband met Marokko's gastheerrol voor de Afrika Cup, waarbij de aandacht zich nu richt op wat dit zou kunnen betekenen voor de strijd om de organisatie van de WK-finale in 2030.<\/p>\n

Marokko zal de Afrika Cup organiseren, een toernooi dat het ziet als een cruciale test voorafgaand aan 2030, wanneer het WK samen met Spanje en Portugal wordt georganiseerd. Maar wat een soepele aanloop had moeten zijn, is overschaduwd door tegenslagen en controverse, en in Spanje heerst het duidelijke gevoel dat de positie van Marokko minder zeker is geworden.<\/p>\n

Spaanse media en stemmen rond de gezamenlijke kandidaatstelling wijzen op de problemen als bewijs dat Marokko nog werk te verrichten heeft op het gebied van organisatie, planning en controle rond grote evenementen. De incidenten hebben het idee gevoed dat Spanje sterker zou kunnen aandringen om de belangrijkste wedstrijd van het toernooi \u2013 de finale \u2013 op Spaanse bodem te laten spelen.<\/p>\n

Het gezamenlijke 2030-project wordt publiekelijk gepresenteerd als een partnerschap, maar achter de schermen blijft het prestige van het organiseren van de finale een van de meest gevoelige kwesties. Marokko heeft zwaar ge\u00efnvesteerd en is erop gebrand te tonen dat het kan leveren, maar alle negatieve publiciteit rond de Afrika Cup wordt nu in Spanje als munitie gebruikt.<\/p>\n

Wat in feite is gebleken, is dat de race om de WK-finale van 2030 nog volledig open is, en dat Spanje bereid is de Afrika Cup-problemen van Marokko aan te grijpen om zijn eigen positie te versterken. De komende periode, waarin beslissingen en evaluaties naderen, zal naar verwachting beslissend zijn voor hoe de finale binnen de gezamenlijke kandidaatstelling wordt toegewezen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
