Marca reports that the expression of interest period has just opened, and several countries are already stepping forward. Spain quickly declared its desire to host, followed by Brazil, whose football confederation has promised a strong proposal. But Morocco appears to have taken the lead, becoming the first country to present a concrete and structured bid, complete with outlined content, logistics, and a proposed timeline.
This move is seen as another step in Morocco’s ongoing rise in the world of international sports. While the country is set to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal, this new initiative reflects Morocco’s desire to also claim full ownership over major sporting events independently.
For those who have followed Moroccan sports developments, this comes as no surprise. In recent years, the country has hosted major competitions including AFCON 2025, the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, and the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations. Each time, Morocco has impressed with high-quality infrastructure, smooth organization, and passionate fan engagement.
By aiming to host the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, Morocco is making a clear statement. It wants to solidify its status as a top-tier sports hub in both Africa and the Mediterranean, fully capable of competing with football’s most established nations.
This is not just a signal to the sports world. It is also a message to Moroccan youth, to the national economy, and to international partners. In Morocco, sport is more than just entertainment. It is a tool for development, diplomacy, and national pride.
If FIFA accepts Morocco’s bid, 2029 could become another landmark year for Moroccan sport, setting the stage for the historic World Cup in 2030.
