It's even worse than that Smurph. FIFA have banged on for years about rotating hosting duties around the continents/confederations, boasting about how egalitarian they are.
Africa has had just one World Cup ever, 2010 in South Africa (and boy were FIFA smug about taking it to Africa back then), so they would have been due one before the tournament returns to Asia, with Qatar having had the last tournament of course. So in order to ensure 2034 was able to go back to Asia 'fairly', they've made Morocco co-hosts only for 2030 and of course shoved three games in South America with the centenary bollocks excuse. 3 continents ticked off in one tournament, even thought the vast majority of the games (including probably all of the later stage games) will be in Spain, and to a lesser extent Portugal.
All those shenanigans just to try and legitimise chasing the money in Saudi. They're fucking shameless and I'd have more respect if they were just honest that money rules all as far as they're concerned. So much for clearing up the organisation post-Blatter. Like you said, I fucking hate sport sometimes.
