FIFA has officially denied reports claiming that President Gianni Infantino promised Morocco the right to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup final. The governing body described the allegations as « false » and « misleading », stressing that no decision has yet been made regarding the venue for the tournament’s showpiece match.
FIFA rejects speculation
The statement comes after reports suggested that Morocco had already secured the right to stage the final of the centenary World Cup.
FIFA rejected those claims, insisting that no such promise had been made by Gianni Infantino.
Final venue yet to be decided
While Morocco, Spain and Portugal will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, FIFA has not announced which stadium will stage the final.
The governing body’s clarification confirms that the selection process remains ongoing.
Focus shifts to the selection process
With speculation now addressed, attention is expected to turn to the criteria FIFA will use to select the venue for the tournament’s biggest match.
Given the historic significance of the centenary World Cup, transparency in the decision-making process is likely to remain under close scrutiny.
