Lekjaa Hints at Closing Continental Hosting File and Focuses on 2030 World Cup

Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, recently stated in widely circulated comments that Morocco does not intend to bid to host any African championships in the near future, following the significant organizational successes the kingdom has achieved in recent years.

These statements come at a time when Morocco is preparing for major global sporting events, most notably the joint organization of the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal, which makes the focus of the Moroccan federation centered on long-term international projects.

Despite circulating statements suggesting that Morocco will not bid for any future African competitions, no detailed official statement has been issued yet by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation to definitively confirm the complete withdrawal from all continental hosting bids.

However, current indicators suggest that the priority has shifted towards global competitions rather than African tournaments.
