Just as Maradona predicted the qualification of Morocco to the Russia 2018 World Cup, shared in a press conference preceding the match, he maintains there is still hope for the team to reach the 2018 World Cup Finals. He has also expressed his intentions and wishes to become a coach for the Moroccan national football team.
The football superstar also talked about Morocco hosting the World Cup in 2026, explaining that it would be quite difficult, even though “Morocco’s infrastructure has developed strongly.”
Regarding the North African bid, Roberto Carlos recently joined the list of ambassadors alongside Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba, and El Hadji Diouf to campaign and promote Morocco’s bid.
The country is also expecting Egyptian Mohamed Salah and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo to join its list of ambassadors.
Could Maradona and Rivaldo join that list?
