The announcement came after a unanimous vote by FIFA's 211 member federations, who expressed their approval for the unique joint bid by acclamation. This marks the first time in World Cup history that such an expansive, multi-nation bid has been approved for the tournament's organization. Speaking on the occasion, Infantino asserted that “in today's divided world (...), to be able to agree on something like this is an extraordinary message”. “We live unity. We live inclusiveness. We live soccer,” he added.

Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), expressed his gratitude to FIFA's member federations for having made possible “this moment of shared happiness, a moment rich in many ways, starting with this universal representation, rarely seen or experienced in other fields”.

“I would like to thank you for having placed your trust in my country, Morocco, and its two partners, Portugal and Spain, to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup together,” he said in a pre-recorded speech broadcast during the Congress.

“This trust placed in my country by retaining its candidacy as part of the tripartite bid is further testimony to the progress made both in the specific preparations for the event and in the country's overall progress, led by the enlightened vision of HM King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him,”  Lekjaa stressed.

"It will not only contribute to the organization's success," he remarked, "but also to achieve what we have always defended, namely that sport, in general, and soccer, in particular, is a lever for socio-economic and human development".

“The tripartite bid will stand out in history. This is the first time that this universal event has been organized simultaneously in Africa, the cradle of Humanity, and on the Old Continent, Europe”, the President of the FRMF concluded.

An official from the independent auditor (BDO), commissioned by FIFA to verify the compliance of the bids for the 2030 and 2034 World Cups, concluded that both bidding procedures had been conducted with “objectivity, integrity, and transparency”.

The Moroccan-Iberian “Yalla Vamos 2030” bid, the sole candidate for the 2030 World Cup, took another decisive step forward at the end of November with the publication of FIFA's evaluation report. The report highlighted the tripartite bid's “overall quality” and confirmed that it exceeded the “minimum organizational requirements” outlined in the technical evaluation, awarding it a score of 4.2 out of 5.

The strength of the bid is evident in the technical evaluation, which assesses both infrastructure and commercial potential, as detailed in the report.

The Morocco-Spain-Portugal 2030 bid proposes 20 diverse stadium options: six in Morocco, three in Portugal, and 11 in Spain. This exceeds the minimum requirement of 14 stadiums for the 2030 World Cup, providing ample flexibility to select diverse and iconic venues across the three countries, as noted in the report.

The report also highlights that Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu, Barcelona’s Camp Nou, and Casablanca’s Grand Stade Hassan II have been proposed as venues for the opening and final matches.
