On Thursday, May 1, 2026, during the 76th FIFA Congress held in Vancouver, Canada, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that Rabat, Morocco, has been unanimously selected by the FIFA Council to host the 2027 Elective Congress. This decision was confirmed by FIFA's official communications.
The 2027 Congress will be a pivotal event where FIFA member associations will elect the organization's president and other key officials. Rabat's selection underscores Morocco's growing role in international football governance, following the country's successful hosting of the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup and its joint bid with Spain and Portugal for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Morocco's bid was supported by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and received unanimous approval from the FIFA Council. The exact dates for the 2027 Congress have not yet been announced, but it is expected to take place in the first half of 2027.
