On August 6, 2026, Spain's far-right party Vox announced it had filed a proposal in the Spanish Congress of Deputies regarding Morocco and the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are co-hosting. The move follows recent criticism from left-wing Spanish and Portuguese parties about Morocco's involvement in the tournament.
According to Spanish media reports, Vox's proposal calls for the Spanish government to take a firmer stance on Morocco, particularly concerning territorial claims and the management of the World Cup. The party has previously expressed opposition to Morocco's participation in the event, citing concerns about human rights and political tensions.
The 2030 World Cup is scheduled to be held across three countries, with matches in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. This is the first time a World Cup will be hosted by three nations on two continents. The tournament is expected to take place from June to July 2030, with the final at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
Morocco has invested heavily in infrastructure for the event, including new stadiums and transportation networks. However, political tensions between Spain and Morocco have occasionally flared, particularly over issues such as migration and territorial disputes in North Africa.
As of now, no official response from the Spanish government or FIFA has been reported regarding Vox's proposal. The Spanish parliament is expected to debate the motion in the coming weeks.
