French Minister for Sport and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Nicolas Forissier, is scheduled to visit Morocco for discussions concerning the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The visit, confirmed by the French Ministry of Sport, focuses on bilateral cooperation and support for the upcoming tournament.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be uniquely hosted across three continents, with matches in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. A symbolic opening match is also planned in Montevideo, Uruguay, to commemorate the tournament's centenary.
Minister Forissier's trip underscores France's interest in collaborating with Morocco on the logistical, security, and infrastructural challenges of hosting a global sporting event. The discussions are expected to cover expertise sharing, particularly following France's experience with major tournaments like the 2024 Paris Olympics.
This diplomatic engagement highlights the ongoing partnership between France and Morocco in the sports sector, extending beyond the World Cup to broader ties in youth and sports development.
