FIFA MEMBERS TO PICK FROM NORTH AMERICA, MOROCCO TO HOST 2026 WORLD CUP

June 12, 2018     Comment Closed     Health & Safety

MOSCOW, Members of football's world governing body, FIFA, will decide at their 68th Congress here Wednesday whether the 2026 World Cup should be played in North America or return to Africa for just the second time, in Morocco.

The choice is clear -- between a slick bid based on gleaming stadiums in the United States, Mexico and Canada which have made a joint bid or an ambitious attempt from Morocco based on as-yet largely unbuilt facilities.

On the eve of the 2018 World Cup which kicks off here Thursday, 207 FIFA member nations will cast their vote. Morocco's bid for 2026 was only cleared to advance to the runoff vote earlier this month, despite a FIFA evaluation report which classified the North African kingdom's stadia, accommodation and transport as high risk.

The report left the US-Canada-Mexico bid as the clear front-runner after giving it a rating of four out of a possible five while Morocco received only 2.7 out of five, but advanced despite red flags being raised over several critical components of the bid.

A FIFA summary of the bid task force's findings warned that the amount of new infrastructure required for the Morocco 2026 bid to become reality cannot be overstated.

However, the North American bid has been dogged by concerns that the vote could become a referendum on the popularity of US President Donald Trump.

On Monday, bid leader Carlos Cordeiro, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) president, repeated a message he has hammered on again and again in recent months � vote on us, not Trump.
