Morocco on Wednesday congratulated the United States, Canada and Mexico after they defeated the North African kingdom’s bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

“At the 68th congress of @FIFAcom, member countries voted in favour of North America,” to host the tournament, Morocco’s committee for the 2026 games said on Twitter.
