Talk of Morocco being stripped of its 2030 World Cup hosting rights has been dismissed, despite the controversy that followed the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Reports circulated after the match suggesting that FIFA was considering withdrawing the tournament from Morocco. However, the information that has been revealed is that there has been no official decision to remove Morocco from hosting the 2030 World Cup, and no formal steps have been taken in that direction.
The same clarification stressed that Morocco’s position as a 2030 host remains unchanged, and that the recent claims are not based on any confirmed announcement from the governing bodies.
The speculation grew in the wake of events surrounding the AFCON final, but the facts available indicate that Morocco has not been notified of any move related to its hosting rights.
