FIFA President Gianni Infantino says the football governing body can afford having Morocco host the 2026 World Cup. His statement comes as task force validated the Moroccan bid.
Morocco's bid was validated, Friday, by FIFA's task force, making it to the voting phase for the 2026 World Cup. In its report FIFA granted Morocco scores that went from low to high.
In one of its recent statements, FIFA said that U.S. governed territories are entitled to vote in June. The decision comes as Morocco raised questions about potential conflicts of interest in the context of the voting procedure.
