The joint Franco-Moroccan task force for the 2030 FIFA World Cup bid is accelerating its technical and logistical preparations, according to recent statements from officials. The unprecedented joint bid, which also includes Spain and Portugal, aims to host the tournament's centenary edition across two continents.
French and Moroccan officials have emphasized the bid's focus on unity and legacy, with plans to leverage existing infrastructure in both nations. The task force is coordinating on key areas such as security, transport, and stadium readiness, building on the operational experience from France's hosting of the 2016 UEFA European Championship and the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
FIFA is expected to select the host for the 2030 tournament in late 2024. The unified bid faces competition from a joint proposal by Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and a separate bid from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Greece. The final decision will be made by the FIFA Congress.
