FIFA has judged Morocco's bid for the 2026 World Cup to be "high risk" in three areas while offering substantial praise for the North American bid.

The joint bid from the United States, Canada and Mexico scored 4 out of 5, while Morocco scored 2.7 following FIFA inspections.

Morocco's risks relate to stadiums, accommodation and transport. 

With the World Cup expanding from 32 to 48 teams in time for the 2026 World Cup, there will be an additional demand on stadiums and facilities to host 80 matches.
