FIFA dismissed reports circulating on September 10 suggesting Morocco would be designated as the host nation for the 2030 World Cup final, according to statements issued to news organisations.
The international football federation indicated that no final decision has been made regarding which country will host the championship match. A spokesperson said the venue for the final will be determined "in due course", without providing specific timeline details.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across multiple nations, with Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay jointly selected as co-hosts for the tournament's opening matches. However, the selection of the final's host venue remains outstanding.
FIFA's clarification comes amid speculation in international media about potential arrangements for one of football's most prestigious fixtures. The federation has historically reserved decisions on championship venues and final locations until closer to the tournament date, allowing for final negotiations with prospective host nations.
