Organization of Islamic Cooperation Pledges Unanimous Support for Morocco 2026
El Amrani was to face more than 200 journalists from 100 countries as he also came up against a presentation by US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro, Mexico football federation boss Decio de Maria and Canadian Soccer Association general secretary Peter Montopoli at the Brussels meeting.
The projected figure is colossal and seems likely to grab the attention of those national associations which do not otherwise hold strong views as to which of the candidates - the United bid or Morocco - should host the 2026 tournament.
SAFA, which is under no obligation to vote for the North American bid should it decide against backing Morocco, said: "We have received the presentation from the United States of America bid during the Cosafa Congress in Johannesburg which was presented by the U.S. bid delegation led by their [former] president Sunil Gulati".
The report was submitted to FIFA in March as part of bidding requirements but the U.S has offered fresh assurances to world football's governing body around the bearing of immigration policies on the World Cup.
Any suggestion that next month's 2026 World Cup ballot will be refreshingly void of politics has been wiped away in one fell swoop by South Africa's sudden change of heart about supporting fellow Africans Morocco.
According the the North American predictions, in 2026 about 5.8 million tickets would be sold, generating record gate money of $2.5 billion.

Financial details were not disclosed on the deal, which will see Jack Ma's Alibaba take control of the online retailer. Spokesperson of Daraz Group Saman Javed said the group head office would remain in Pakistan.
They said that TV rights would generate $5.2 billion (£3.8 billion/€4.4 billion) regardless of where the tournament was staged. "It is obvious. We have to make enough money at the World Cup for the next four years and Australia wouldn't be able to do it".
By publicly over-ruling its federation chief, South Africa has plunged its own footballing body into a potential conflict with FIFA which has the power to throw the country out of the ballot on June 13. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the USA bid.
"The question of who will host in 2026 has at times become mixed with geopolitics". Morocco's bid is going up against the joint bid from the US, Mexico and Canada.
Morocco claims to have the support of 57 nations that belong to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation as well as securing the support not only of the majority of African countries, but also many in Europe, including Russia, France, and possibly the Scandinavian countries.
The OIC consists of some African, Asian and two South American countries as well as Albania as its only European member.
The host of the 2026 World Cup is due to be announced at FIFA's Congress in Moscow on June 13, the day before the start of this year's tournament in Russian Federation.
