FRMF president Fouzi Lekjaa protests in a letter sent to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, against the undisclosed changes added to the eligibility criteria hours before the deadline for bid books to be handed over last month.
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.
On Monday, the Saudi's Sports Authority's chairman tweeted saying that his country might not support the Moroccan bid to host the 2026 World Cup. Two days later, the Saudi ambassador to Rabat assured that such tweets shouldn't affect the diplomatic relations between the two nations.
In one of its latest statements, the Polisario told El Pais that it supports the Moroccan bid to host the 2026 bid as an «African country».
Because of the support Morocco showed lately for Qatar, Saudi Arabia's vote for the 2026 World Cup will be based on what serves its own interest.
