On 10 January 2018, King Mohammed VI appointed Moulay Hafid Elalamy as chairman of the bid committee.

The Moroccan highway network connects most large cities in the country, being part of the transportation infrastructure in Morocco.

[38] In January 2018, the Moroccan government stated its full support for Morocco's bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

The slogan for the bid "Together for One Goal" (Arabic: "معا لهدف واحد") (French: "Ensemble pour le même but"), was launched on 17 March 2018.

The three categories with the worst scores were: stadiums, accommodation and transportation, which are the most important parts of any bid for the World Cup.

[41] In Morocco's previous World Cup bids, it was discovered that in two of those instances, the country's stakeholders tried to bribe voting officials.

The general secretary of FIFA Fatma Samoura warned voters in a letter "not to accept any technical or development support which may unduly affect the integrity of the bidding procedure".

[42] Moroccan bid officials had at one point discussed a formal relationship with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) which would allow for training camps and other development activities for countries on the continent.

[43] The aforementioned Samoura was referred to FIFA's ethics committee after it was discovered she had familial links to El Hadji Diouf, an ambassador of the bid.

[44] The transportation plans put forward by the bid team were rated as being of high risk for FIFA.

[45] Concerns were raised over the dependence of just one airport for most of the flights (in Casablanca) and the lack of transportation links within cities and stadiums.

[45] According to FIFA, the bid relied on high cost infrastructure across all modes of transportation in a shorter amount of time.

This was in contrast to the North American bid, which exclusively used existing stadiums and did not require any of the host countries to take on debt.

[50] The stadium plans put forward by the bid team were rated as being of high risk for FIFA.

Morocco is in the North African region which has experienced political instability and terrorist attacks in neighbouring countries of Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

A total of 17 people were killed in the attack at Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, which was also the proposed fan site if the bid was successful.

[58] This was the primary reason that FIFA president Gianni Infantino thought of preferring the North American bid.
