FUFA President Eng. Moses Magogo says that democracy dictated during the voting of the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosts.
The exercise was conducted on Wednesday in Russia. FUFA was represented by its President, 1st Vice President Justus Mugisha and CEO Edgar Watson.
During the voting, FUFA President cast the ballot in favour of Morocco who were up against a joint bid that had USA, Canada and Mexico.
The 68th FIFA Congress convened in Moscow and designated the three countries as the hosts of football’s most prestigious tournament, which by then will have 48 teams.
The United Bid received 134 of 200 votes cast while Morocco tallied 65 votes. One single Member Association voted not to choose either of the two bids.
In a short message on his official Facebook and Twitters accounts, the FUFA President posted;
‘We voted for Africa (Morocco) 65 and lost the vote to United Bid 132 (US, Mexico, Canada). Congratulations to the US, Mexico and Canada’
