“South Africa has hosted many big events in the past‚ we are recognized throughout the world‚ our teams are doing very well. The meeting followed an invitation from COSAFA president Philip Chiyangwa who felt that given the Americans had also given them their presentation, they should also hear what the Moroccans were offering. “I am happy to be sitting with the head of delegation of Morocco World Cup bid, committee ambassador (Daniel) Amokachi and my team from COSAFA,” said Chiyangwa in a video statement. “The presentation was good and I am sure members of COSAFA are excited with your bid and the recommendations they have given you in terms of this bid being an African bid. “The key message is that our bid is an African bid,” he said in his message.
