Morocco have always been clear that they want the showpiece event and are building a 113,000-seater stadium in Casablanca in order to host it. The final must be hosted at a venue of 80,000 or more, meaning the new Moroccan stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou would be the only suitable stadiums. The controversy surrounding the RFEF, who had Rubiales suspended by FIFA for three years, could work against them, and gift Morocco the ultimate prize.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino does have a good relationship with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez though, and could reach out to share his concerns.
It would be a major surprise if, having been named the main venue with the most stadiums (10-11) in total, the final was played in Morocco.
It would certainly appease those in CAF though, who would see just a second final on African soil after the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
