Spain already hosted the World Cup in 1982 and unsuccessfully opted to host the competition in 2018, which was held in Russia. Portugal and Morocco will be organizers for the first time. The Moroccan Federation presented its candidacy for the event for the last time for the 2026 edition, when it lost to the project of the United States, Mexico and Canada and had previously opted on five occasions (1994, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2018).
