The tournament will be hosted by Morocco.[2]
Host bids
Edit
There were four countries bidding to host the 2013 and 2014 tournaments (same host for both tournaments):[3]

- 22x20px Morocco
- 22x20px South Africa
- 22x20px United Arab Emirates (which hosted the 2009 and 2010 editions in Abu Dhabi)
In October 2011, FIFA said that Iran, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates all withdrew their bids, leaving Morocco as the only bidder.[4] FIFA officially announced Morocco as host on 17 December 2011.[5]
