The joint bid of Morocco, Portugal and Spain to host the 2030 Fifa World Cup™ has reached a significant milestone, with the complete bid book being officially submitted to Fifa leadership at an event held in Fifa’s Paris offices.

Extensive engagement efforts have already been made throughout the campaign to promote this vision, with the bid having tens of thousands of followers in social media.
A successful bid would mark the first time the men’s Fifa World Cup™ is held across two continents in its 100-year history.

The bid book, which comprehensively details the bid vision and technical planning, including transport, accommodation and security arrangements, also outlines the proposed host cities and stadiums for a 2030 Fifa World Cup™ in the three countries.
The bid is supported by an impressive group of bid ambassadors, including footballing legends from each nation – Luis Figo, Andres Iniesta and Nourredine Naybet – and legend Emmanuel Adebayor, as well as leading players from the current men’s and women’s national teams: Cristiano Ronaldo, Achraf Hakimi, Dolores Silva, Ghizlane Chebbak, Alvaro Morata, Irene Paredes and Yassine Bounou.
