Spain’s far-right Vox party has formally requested Morocco’s exclusion from co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The demand stems from ongoing tensions related to migration issues in the Spanish city of Ceuta. Vox’s move arrives alongside criticism from left-wing parties Podemos and Sumar, who object to sharing the tournament with Morocco. These parties have labelled Morocco a “dictatorship” and argue against joint hosting. The 2030 World Cup is slated to be jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, marking a historic moment for African football. This request throws uncertainty onto the already-approved bid and highlights political divisions surrounding the event. The situation underscores the complex relationship between Spain and Morocco, influenced by migration and political ideologies.
