During the Games, business continues for FIFA. Present in the French capital in his capacity as a member of the IOC, Gianni Infantino escaped for a time from the Olympic setting to return to football, more particularly at the 2030 World Cup. The FIFA President very officially received, Monday July 29, the application file from Morocco, Portugal and Spain, during an event organized in the body's offices in Paris. The document was delivered by the presidents of the three candidate football federations: Fouzi Lekjaa for Morocco, Fernando Gomes for Portugal, and Álvaro de Miguel, secretary general of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, on behalf of President Pedro Rocha. FIFA's final decision is announced for December 11, but there is no doubt, the joint candidacy of the three countries being the only one in the race.
