Morocco announced that it joined Spain and Portugal for 2030 FIFA World Cup bid, instead of Ukraine.
Morocco had five unsuccessful attempts to host the tournament: 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2026.
In case, the three countries won the bid, Morocco would be the first country to host World Cup matches in North Africa.
