South Africa to support Morocco's World Cup bid
England’s head coach wants to lead the rebuild after heavy defeats in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide, but concedes his fate lies elsewhere
SOUTH AFRICAN football leader Danny Jordaan has promised Morocco “unqualified support” to host the 2026 World Cup.
The South African Football Association said today that Jordaan assured a visiting Morocco bid delegation “he will personally lobby” African officials ahead of the scheduled vote in Moscow on June 13.
Morocco is up against a United States-Canada-Mexico bid to stage the continent’s second World Cup. South Africa’s 2010 World Cup bid is being investigated by the US Department of Justice for a suspicious $10 million payment to Fifa voters in the North American region.
