The President of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), Major General Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi, expressed his confidence in Morocco’s ability to organize an “exceptional” edition of the Football World Cup in 2030.

In an address to the 42nd session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council, convened in Tunis Sunday, Al-Raisi congratulated the Kingdoms of Morocco and Saudi Arabia on the “historic” feat of securing the organization of the next two editions of the FIFA World Cup, in 2030 and 2034 respectively.

The Interpol President also expressed his confidence in the ability of the two Kingdoms to organize “an exceptional tournament worthy of their centuries-old history.”
