FIFA president Gianni Infantino has denied reports that he promised Morocco the final match of the 2030 World Cup. The denial comes amid ongoing governance disputes within European football.
According to a statement released by FIFA, Infantino said he had not made any such promise, and that the hosting arrangements for the 2030 tournament would be decided through the proper FIFA procedures. The 2030 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with the final venue yet to be confirmed.
The reports had emerged following a meeting between Infantino and Moroccan football officials, but FIFA has dismissed them as speculation. The Moroccan Royal Football Federation has publicly expressed support for Infantino, but has not commented on the final venue.
European football associations have recently criticized Infantino's leadership, with some calling for reforms in FIFA's governance. However, no official action has been taken against him.
