Morocco Official Told to Halt 2030 Final Promises Amidst Federation Disputes

Morocco's Prime Minister has instructed the head of the country's football federation to cease making definitive statements regarding the 2030 World Cup final. This directive comes amidst ongoing discussions and differing opinions on the final's venue, with the head of the Spanish federation asserting that the showpiece match should be hosted in Spain.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the DFB (German Football Federation) has announced a policy shift where clubs will now bear the financial responsibility for additional police costs incurred during high-risk matches. This decision, made by the DFB executive committee, means that any extra expenses for police operations will be passed on to the respective home clubs on a pro-rata basis, signaling a change in how security costs are managed for potentially volatile fixtures.
