The FIFA evaluation task force will release their final report on two rival bidders contesting host rights to the 2026 World Cup finals on first week of June and not on today as earlier announced.

Reports by a French publication, L’Equipe, indicate that the major decision will be made days after a meeting which is scheduled to be held tomorrow in Zurich between the task force and Morocco, North America bid committees representatives.

The “decision” is slated to be taken by quintet of FIFA deputy secretary-generals Marco Villiger and Zvonimir Boban, audit chair Tomaz Vesel (Slovenia), governance chair Mukul Mudgal (India) and competitions committee delegate Ilco Gjorgioski (Macedonia).

The task force,which their modus operandi and powers was a subject of a rare bust-up in the FIFA Council that was held in Bogota on March this year, has the legitimacy to disqualify one of the bids if it does not meet FIFA’s requirements.

Earlier date of revelation  was communicated by Moroccan FA through a tweet,but FIFA  could not confirm or deny.The African state has complained long and loud about what its officials perceive to be a FIFA-centred bias towards their rival.

FIFA Congress is scheduled to vote between Morocco and a co-hosting proposal from the United States with subsidiaries Canada and Mexico on June 13 in Moscow, on the eve of the Opening Match for the 2018 finals.

FIFA Council is expected to approve whatever the task force proposes, thus bequeathing the ultimate decision to congress. The vote will be open and federations which fear upsetting one side or the other also have the option of a registered abstention.
