FILE - In this Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018 file photo, Morocco's team celebrates after scoring against Mauritania during the CHAN (African Nations Championship) opening group A soccer match in Casablanca, Morocco. Morocco is focusing on presenting a clean bid for the 2026 World Cup against North America. The country is saddled by its own baggage: bribery allegations against past World Cup bids that were leveled by U.S. prosecutors in the sprawling investigation into soccer corruption. “We do not have anything to do with the past as Morocco,” 2026 bid chief executive Hicham El Amrani said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018. “Do not make me comment on past bids for which we were not part of. Our bid is clean and will be compliant and this is what counts.” (AP Photo/Abdeljalil Bounhar, file)
