FIFA president Gianni Infantino has reportedly offered Morocco the right to host the 2030 World Cup final in return for backing his campaign to remain FIFA president. The claim was reported by The Times and adds to scrutiny surrounding the governing body’s leadership.
The reported proposal comes after widespread criticism of a plan, now abandoned, that would have involved selling part of the World Cup to private investors. That controversy has intensified attention on Infantino’s decisions and relationships ahead of the FIFA election.
Morocco is one of the countries involved in hosting the 2030 World Cup, and the reported offer would give it the tournament’s most prominent match. The allegations have not been independently detailed in the available report, while the full arrangements for the final remain subject to FIFA’s process.
