During a visit to Morocco – bidding to become the first African state to host a World Cup – Zapatero said his government would ‘fully support’ the Moroccan bid.
Morocco is seen by many as the only real competitor to South Africa – the hot favourite to win the right to host the 2010 tournament.
Other nations bidding include Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. FIFA will announce the winner next month.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has pledged his country’s support to Morocco as the race to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup enters the final straight.
