In a recent statement, the former president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FREF) claimed that he was in agreement with Fouzi Lekjaa, the current president of the federation, regarding the organization of key matches for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The 2030 World Cup will be co-hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal.
The former official, whose name has not been disclosed in available reports, stated that his alignment with Lekjaa on this matter was based on a shared vision for Morocco's role in the tournament. He emphasized that the discussions focused on ensuring Morocco's successful contribution to the event, which marks the first time the World Cup will be held across two continents.
Fouzi Lekjaa, who also serves as Morocco's Minister Delegate for the Budget, has been a key figure in the country's bid and preparations for the 2030 World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place from June to July 2030, with matches planned in multiple cities across the three host nations.
The former president's comments come amid ongoing preparations and logistical planning for the event, which is expected to boost tourism and infrastructure development in Morocco. No further details about the specific matches or agreements were provided.
