Morocco is "a very strong" candidate to host the final rounds of the 2006 World football Cup, German Ambassador to Morocco, Hans-Dieter Scheel, said.
If FIFA, world football governing body, decides to entrust the holding of the World Cup to an African country, Morocco will be the fittest nation, the diplomat told a Moroccan daily.
Morocco has the strongest arguments, especially in matters of security, Scheel said, adding that Morocco has other assets, including a modern highway network and high-quality transportation.
Morocco is bidding for hosting the World Cup for the third time after 1994 (USA) and 1998 (France). This Time, it is in the race along with South Africa, Germany, England and Brazil.
