To strengthen our chances, the Kingdom presented its bid on behalf of «the African continent», stressing on its stability, geographical location, and time zone when compared to North America.
The Kingdom will now be able to get to the voting phase scheduled for June 13 in Russia. More than 200 football federations will have to choose between Morocco's bid and the joint one presented by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
