Le parti écologiste portugais demande le retrait du Maroc de l’organisation de la Coupe du monde 2030
The Portuguese Green party LIVRE denounced Morocco's presence among the host countries of the 2030 World Cup and demanded their withdrawal amid the migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
Images of the migration crisis between Morocco and Spain in Ceuta have sparked numerous reactions across Europe. While the events in the Spanish enclave have primarily generated political reactions, they could also have repercussions in the sporting world. In a statement drafted by its spokesperson Jorge Pinto, the Portuguese Green party LIVRE called for Morocco to be stripped of the 2030 World Cup hosting rights.
"In light of recent events, a courageous decision is necessary: Portugal cannot participate in the joint organization of the 2030 World Cup with Morocco," the Portuguese politician declared in a post on the Bluesky platform. "For its part, LIVRE will do everything in its power to prevent us from being sadly associated with organizing this event alongside a country that has not demonstrated its competence and does not inspire confidence."
Morocco "is not a reliable partner"
Chosen by FIFA to co-host the next World Cup with Spain and Portugal, Morocco is among the new powerhouses of world football and enjoys the support of President Gianni Infantino. However, the LIVRE party believes that recent events have made it impossible to maintain good cooperation between the three host countries of the upcoming World Cup.
"The initial proposal involved Portugal, Spain, and Ukraine hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup. For valid reasons, Ukraine withdrew, and Morocco took its place," Jorge Pinto also pointed out when addressing Morocco's presence among the organizers of the global tournament. "This possibility is now untenable. Not only is Morocco not a reliable partner, but it is now part of the reactionary international group that will use any means to weaken the European political sphere."
Morocco remains a supporter of Infantino and FIFA
Having hosted the men's Africa Cup of Nations at the end of 2025, Morocco is also hosting the women's edition this summer. And it is also in this African country that the FIFA president has established a headquarters and is currently holding his crisis meeting following the fiasco of his project to create a commercial entity.
It is difficult, if not unimaginable, to envision Morocco withdrawing the hosting rights for the 2030 World Cup. Beyond the scheduling constraints, a number of projects are already underway in preparation for the event, and Morocco has reaffirmed Gianni Infantino's commitment to his position despite the crisis at FIFA.
As long as Switzerland is in charge of world football, Morocco has almost no chance of losing the hosting rights for the World Cup. The kingdom could even win back the hosting rights for the grand final if chosen over Spain and Portugal.
