Morocco Emerges Favourite to Host 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup

Morocco has emerged as the leading candidate to host the 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup, with FIFA reportedly considering the North African country for the competition.

According to futsal news outlet Futsalia, FIFA is ready to support Morocco’s bid to host the first edition of the tournament on African soil.

Morocco has been pushing to host the competition since 2024 and is believed to be ahead of other interested countries, including Indonesia and Spain.

Indonesia reportedly presented a verbal proposal during the FIFA Congress in Vancouver last April, while Spain recently expressed interest in hosting the tournament.

Although FIFA has yet to confirm the full list of bidding countries, Morocco is currently considered the favourite.

The country’s growing reputation in international futsal has also strengthened its chances of winning the hosting rights. UEFA is reportedly among those who see Morocco as the leading candidate.

Futsal official Hrvoje Hrkač of Croatia has also predicted that Morocco will win the race.

If confirmed, the 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup would be a major milestone for African football, as Morocco would become the first African country to host the competition.
