Morocco to host Club World Cup
Morocco will host both the 2013 and 2014 FIFA Club World Cups.
Iran, South Africa and the U.A.E. all withdrew their bids, leaving FIFA to bring the competition to
Africa for the first time. The hosting is set to be rubber-stamped in Zurich in December.
The North African nation has a strong soccer tradition, and the national team memorably became the
first African nation to win a group in the World Cup Finals, topping England, Portugal and Poland
at Mexico '86, before losing to a late Lothar Matthaus goal from eventual finalists West Germany in
the next round.
