Journalist Mykhailo Spivakovsky commented on the TaToTake program that Morocco could replace Ukraine in the joint bid with Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup.
Mykhailo Spivakovsky"Everyone understands that there are two reasons for replacing Ukraine with Morocco:
- Russia's military aggression, which does not end and causes permanent damage to the country's infrastructure;
- Courts against the UAF leaders, Andriy Pavelko and Yuriy Zapisotskyi.
The first reason plays into our hands. Ukraine is a symbol of the protection of the world's democratic values. And holding such a tournament on its territory is a minimal but well-deserved reward for the lives of thousands of innocent people and the country's defenders.
The second reason is more real. But there are halftones here. Pavelko's enemies argue that UEFA and FIFA simply do not want to get involved with the UAF's scruffy leaders. The House of Football sees it differently, saying that Infantino and Cheferin's authorities are ready to strike Ukraine out because the state here is putting constant pressure on a purely football structure. For example, due to the sanctions imposed by the Pechersk Court on April 5, Pavelko and Zapisotskyi will almost certainly not be able to represent the Ukrainian side in a joint application to the UEFA Congress.
The President's Office looks absolutely ambiguous in this situation. On the one hand, the application itself was submitted with his active participation. On the other hand, there are enough functionaries there who dream of overthrowing the owner of the House of Football. The bad thing is that these two positions do not go together.
The UAF claims that all is not lost. However, they are convinced that "application for the 2030 World Cup" is Pavelko's middle name. And that the mission is impossible without him. At the same time, the radicals from the OP have clearly delayed the transition of power in the Football House. And it seems that if Bankova Street does not deal with the attitude to the situation in the near future, the project "Ukraine - the host of the World Cup" will be victoriously covered with a copper basin," Spivakovsky said.
