The star symbolizes \u201cunity and brilliance\u201d.<\/p>\n To defend his candidacy, the committee chose former African players like Samuel Eto\u2019o and Didier Drogba. \u201cAnd there are many other names,\u201d said the FRMF<\/span> boss.<\/p>\n Asked about the issue of human rights, one of the new criteria for selection of FIFA<\/span>, chairman of the committee replied, \u201cwe are preparing for the World-2026, we do not redo the world and that\u2019s simple \u201c.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the competitors is ranked as the most dangerous country in the world, Morocco is one of the safest countries in the world,\u201d said Moulay Hafid Elalamy.<\/p>\n The committee also argued that Morocco had \u201cdeveloped\u201d, evoking \u201cinfrastructures\u201d such as \u201cTGV<\/span>, ports, stadiums and hotel capacity\u201d.<\/p>\n The amount spent on this campaign has not been disclosed.
