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.
Speaking to a senior FIFA official, BBC revealed that the football governing body president Gianni Infantino had tried to prevent Morocco from reaching the final vote for hosting the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA has responded to questions raised by Morocco after it realized that changes were added to the 2026 World Cup scoring system. It warned that it does not want unfitting «white elephant» stadiums.
It is not a secret anymore that Morocco has dreamed of hosting the World Cup for years. The kingdom’s bidding document was submitted on the 15th of March, receiving the support of several countries.
