Payback is a 'female dog'.
Morocco tried to sabotage SA 2010 WC bid. They also canceled hosting AFCON in 2015 because African countries had Ebola.

Anyway.... Its not the first time Morocco have tried but while one would have loved to see another African host the WC, Moroccans haven't really endeared themselves to the rest of Africa. Their continued occupation of W. Sahara says it all. Morocco has always had this complex of not being "African" per se. In 1987 they applied for EU Community membership hoping to join the Union. This was rejected on the basis of geographic location. On this basis they consider themselves part of Europe. On the other hand they see themselves as Arab. Being predominantly of Berber heritage they also associate themselves more with the Arab countries their geographic location notwithstanding. Its observed here @2012, their bid was weak and not well thought out. Morocco and many other north African countries share alot with Europe and the middle east due to hundreds of years of relationship, trade and movement within the Mediterranean sea and surrounding region. The Sahara was a big barrier between north Africa and sub Saharan africam. That is why a Tunisian, Egyptian, Moroccan etc would identify himself with Europeans and Arabs across the sea than a Zulu or kikuyu thousands of kilometres away who he never historically interacted with even if they share a continent. By the way Morocco is only 32km from Europe across the Mediterranean sea. Infact some territories of spain are in Morocco. Pffft Morocco shares a lot with Europe only in their dreams. They have bid for the world cup sijui 5 times and hardly any European country ever votes for them.

Northern Europeans e.g. Germans, British, Scandinavians etc regard themselves different from sunburned southern Europeans such as Spanish, Greeks, and Italians. Infact even today some Europeans regard Italians as not really white. So you can imagine how they would regard Moroccans who are 14kms south away from europe in the continent of africa.

Kenyan teams playing in continental matches in 2018 actually considered playing home matches in Uganda or Tanzania because there were no stadia that met CAF standards. Kenyan stadia are terrible. This is what the terraces at Thika stadium look like  And the playing surface is even worse.
