Arab League Pledges Economic Support for Morocco's 2030 World Cup Bid
Doha – The Economic and Social Council of the Arab League has officially extended its economic support to Morocco for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, during its 115th session held on Wednesday. The council adopted a resolution calling on all member states to back Morocco's efforts in hosting the global sporting event alongside Spain and Portugal. In addition to World Cup preparations, the council's agenda encompassed several key economic initiatives. Members reviewed the implementation of previous resolutions from the 114th session and discussed the general secretariat's activities between sessions. The economic and social dossier for the 34th ordinary summit in Baghdad also featured prominently in the discussions, alongside deliberations on Yemen's development needs, the Arab free trade zone, and customs union developments. The Moroccan delegation at the session was led by Mohamed Ait Ouali, Morocco's ambassador to Cairo and permanent representative to the Arab League, accompanied by representatives from the ministries of Economy and Finance, as well as Industry and Commerce. The Arab League's commitment joins a series of regional endorsements. In December 2024, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jassim Muhammad Al-Budaiwi announced the Gulf states' comprehensive support during his Rabat visit. 'Gulf countries will be fully ready to provide all forms of support and cooperation to Rabat for this event,' Al-Budaiwi stated during a joint press conference with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. More recently, in a meeting held on February 10, Moroccan Interior Minister Abdelouafi Laftit and his Spanish counterpart Fernando Grande-Marlaska discussed security preparations for the tournament in Madrid. Both officials elevated the importance of collaboration between the co-hosting nations to ensure the event's success.
