Spanish football has been experiencing a month of continuous shock since last August 20 on the occasion of the Women’s World Cup and everything that followed.
Mainly FIFA file Luis Rubiales and his resignation on September 10. However, and as MD learned, this will not affect the candidacy for World Cup 2030.
Nor is this chapter derived from the works of Luis Rubiales at the last World Cup in Sydney, including everything that happened after, or before the incident arose Vinicius in Valencia-Real Madrid.
According to sources consulted by MD, the candidacy for the big event of World Cup 2030 This is a very different issue and it does not have to have any impact on the roadmap so that the union of Spain with Morocco and Portugal does not get the OK from the world of football and FIFA to fix it.
Because, as we say in Mundo Deportivo, the union between the initial Iberian candidacy (Spain and Portugal) with Morocco is strategic. The entry of Morocco signifies the integration of two confederations dependent on FIFA such as UEFA and the African CAF. In terms of votes this implies more than 100 votes between the 54 of the African Confederation and the 55 of UEFA. Not only does Spain have a lot of weight within Europe, Morocco’s role in the rest of the Arab world is increasingly important. Something that was also evident in the final event of the last World Cup in Qatar where they achieved fourth place after losing the final match to Croatia 2-1.
Only this union ended another of the originally very strong options, developed by Saudi Arabia and Egypt and to which it was proposed that Greece might join. On June 23, Arabia announced its resignation due to the weight of the Iberian and Moroccan candidacy. Its definitive final disposal gives more strength to the formation of Spain-Portugal and Morocco; because Saudi Arabia and Egypt became a safe backup for the Moroccan country.
The South American candidacy is the only alternative
At this point, there is only one possible rival in the way of the Iberian candidacy to organize the World Cup. And it represents CONMEBOL led by Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile. The candidacy which, according to other sources consulted by the same newspaper, has too much complexity for it to see the light and it is unlikely to be selected for the 2030 project.
Until the last quarter of next year FIFA will announce who will be chosen to host this event for seven years. The exact date which could take place from September to December 2024 remains to be determined. At that time, and according to the same sources, a lot of time has passed regarding the current situation that Spanish football and the RFEF itself are experiencing. Starting because the federation will definitely have a new president. All these arguments continue to place Spain-Portugal and Morocco as the big favourites.
