Tunisia, Maroc & Algerie consider bid for World Cup 2030
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44723026
Tunisia would be open to the idea of a North African bid for the 2030 World Cup along with Algeria and Morocco.
Algeria's sports minister announced earlier this week that his country is to study whether such a bid is feasible.
The president of the Tunisia Football Federation Wadie Jary said "We haven't received any official offers, but we're open to the idea and would like to see it happen."
Officials in Morocco, who have already declared their intention to bid, are yet to respond to the idea.
Morocco last month lost out to a joint North American bid in the vote for the 2026 finals and immediately signalled its intention to try again.
It would be a sixth bid for Moroccans after five previous failures
"Algeria will study a possible candidacy of the Maghreb countries for the organisation of the World Cup," Algeria sports minister Mohamed Hattab told reporters.
An application from the Maghreb with Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia can be achieved through existing infrastructure as well as future projects.
"When we look at our cities, with the sporting and cultural facilities present, we are able to consider that we can host major world events."
Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay last year launched a three-nation South American bid to host the 2030 tournament, seeking to mark the centenary of the first World Cup, hosted by Uruguay in 1930.
Morocco and Tunisia played at the World Cup in Russia but were eliminated at the group stage, while Algeria reached the second round in Brazil four years ago.
A Fifa vote to decide the 2030 hosts is not expected before 2022, when the World Cup is headed to Qatar.

Morocco and Algeria putting their differences aside, hmmm
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

It would be politically-wise to include Portugal, IMHO. This will be the first World Cup that crosses continental shores and attempts to rope in UEFA and CAF support.

That would certainly be interesting. What about Portugal, Spain and Morocco?

That was my initial thought in a WhatsApp group post but I have since taken out Spain because of the news that adds Tunisia and Algeria.

There has even been an arms race for at least 10 years! So yes football rivalries exist across Africa, but these are two countries that do not really see eye to eye, and for Morocco to approach Algeria, shows that things are either changing, or Morocco is very desperate.

There is only one country for the 2030 World Cup; England.
The country has not hosted it since 1966. That is a hell of a looooong time!
