FIFA has pushed back against reports that Morocco had already been selected to host the 2030 World Cup final, stating on Thursday that the decision between Morocco and Spain would be made "in due course."

The announcement from world football's governing body comes amid growing speculation over which co-host nation will stage the showpiece match of the tournament. Both Morocco and Spain are among the co-hosts of the 2030 edition, alongside Portugal and Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay for the centenary celebration matches.

FIFA's brief but firm statement makes clear that no final call has been made on the matter, and that fans and officials should expect an official announcement at a later date.
