More Morocco-2006 support committees worldwide

The Moroccan community in the Netherlands has set up a support-committee to back up Morocco's bid to host the football World Cup in 2006.

A release of the committee said it is meant to lobby locally and, in a later stage, adopt a strategy to bear positively on European decision-makers in the realm of sports.

In Montreal which hosts the first Canadian support committee launched in November, mayors of Quebec joined the committee bringing further support to Moroccan candidacy.
