A storm is brewing over the purported leaked logo for the 2030 World Cup, set to be jointly hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. The alleged design, which includes a football surrounded by red, green, and yellow crescents, representing the common colors in the flags of the three hosting countries, and the words “Yalla,” signifying “let’s go” in Arabic, and “Vamos,” holding the same meaning in Spanish and Portuguese. has sparked a heated debate.
Amidst swirling claims of validation from the football federations of the three countries, an official confirmation remains elusive, casting a shadow of doubt over the leaked emblem.
Spanish media outlets, notably Elconfidencial and El Huff Post, have raised eyebrows over the timing of this supposed reveal. They pointedly note that official logos traditionally grace the public eye closer to the tournament’s commencement, roughly three years before kick-off.
Elconfidencial, lamented the divergence from tradition, highlighting Morocco’s proactive stance since King Mohammed VI initially announced the collaborative bid. The purported leak from a Moroccan source further fuels the narrative, drawing attention to the kingdom’s consistent presence in World Cup headlines.
As social media buzzes with speculation, the official stance from FIFA or the concerned football federations remains conspicuous by its absence.
In an attempt to verify the authenticity of the leaked emblem, journalists from Hespress, the Moroccan electronic newspaper, reached out to a source within the Royal Moroccan football federation. The source confirmed that the emblem that surfaced was merely a proposed design under consideration. They clarified that the definitive and authentic logo will be revealed through an official joint announcement by all three organizing nations.
