2030 World Cup in Morocco, Recognition of Kingdom’s Efforts to Promote Football in Africa – CAF President

Morocco, under the wise leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, contributed greatly to developing football in Africa, by building a high-level sporting infrastructure, which has benefited many African countries, Motsepe said during the CAF Awards 2024 ceremony.

Noting that Morocco has always set the example, Motsepe urged African countries to follow in the Kingdom’s footsteps in terms of infrastructure development, particularly in sports.

The official thanked HM King Mohammed VI and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation for their efforts to promote the development of football in Africa.

He also thanked FIFA for the trust it has placed in Africa by entrusting Morocco with hosting the World Cup, expressing his conviction that the 2030 edition will belong to the entire African continent.

Morocco hosted the CAF Awards ceremony for the third year running, after 2022 at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maâmoura (near Salé) and 2023 in Marrakech.
