Secret messages obtained by the Spanish newspaper The Objective reveal early communications between Spanish officials and Morocco's ambassador in Spain, Karima Benaichek, aimed at involving Morocco in the 2030 World Cup hosting bid alongside Spain and Portugal. These negotiations began in the summer of 2018, well before their official announcement, and coincided with tense relations between Madrid and Rabat at the time. The messages show commitments from Luis Rubiales, the former head of the Spanish Football Federation, to ensure Morocco's participation and to confirm the intent to organize the event jointly. An informal agreement was reached, and Morocco unofficially joined the bid prior to the official announcement in 2023. Moroccan sources confirmed that the joint bid was officially approved during the FIFA conference in December 2024, and that it remains the basis of the final nomination. They also emphasized that Morocco's inclusion has strengthened the chances of winning the joint bid, and that hosting the final remains an legitimate right of the Kingdom under the agreement with Spain and Portugal.
