The country was second to the United States for the 1994 tourney, behind France for 1998 and just lost out to South Africa for the 2010 finals, the only time the event has been held in Africa. We have looked at Morocco deeply and what they have done in terms of infrastructure.
"When Morocco is bidding, it is Africa which is bidding".
Meanwhile, a five-man Federation Internationale de Football Association task force is in Morocco to assess the country's ability to host the World Cup finals. In Africa, when one of us bids for something, then we support them.

"It is an advantage for us, it's faster to get there, it's in Africa and Morocco is closer to Europe", Mwendwa assured.
