A Spanish media outlet recently reported that FIFA altered Morocco's map to exclude Western Sahara. This claim was eagerly echoed by both Algerian public and private media. However, when examining the official documents of FIFA this interpretation begins to fall apart.
The Morocco-Portugal-Spain joint bid for the 2030 FIFA World Cup received an evaluation score of 4.2 out of 5, meeting FIFA's technical hosting requirements. The bid highlights include 20 stadiums across the three countries, strong infrastructure, and a robust security plan.
