The black spots of Tangier revealed by FIFA

Tangier faces a major obstacle that could prevent it from hosting World Cup matches that Morocco will co-host in 2030 along with Spain and Portugal.

Looking at the candidate cities for the organization of the 2030 World Cup, FIFA gave Tangier a score of 2.6 out of 5 for transport and 2.2 out of 5 for accommodation. This assessment reveals the structural challenges that the northern city must overcome if it really intends to host matches of this high football event. It must put an end to the actions of real estate lobbies. Their influence on urban development trajectories, as well as on the compatibility of development decisions with strategic needs, causes enormous harm to the city.
