As tensions rise after the migrant surge, a pair of political parties suggested Morocco shouldn't be involved in organizing the 2030 World Cup.

The junior partner of Spain’s government wants Spain to reconsider hosting the next World Cup with Morocco after the migration crisis in Ceuta, when tens of thousands of people surged across the Moroccan border and into the European enclave last week.

At least 18 migrants died trying to reach the Spanish territory of Ceuta after tens of thousands of people breached the frontier with Morocco and poured into the tiny Spanish territory.

Spain and Morocco reinforced the border fence of a Spanish enclave after around 49,000 people arrived by sea in one day. Dozens of bodies have been recovered, Spanish authorities said.

Thousands of migrants have entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco, with at least 18 dying in the attempt, prompting local officials to seek help from Spain's national government.

According to the outlet, Infantino is seeking to shore himself up with the backing of his most loyal ally since his election a decade ago. In return, Morocco — which already has hosting duties and is now also aiming for the final — strengthens its influence over the organization of the tournament it will share with Spain and Portugal.

Four days after tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the small Spanish territory of Ceuta, the death toll continues to rise -- nearing 100.

An estimated 50,000 to 60,000 migrants entered a small Spanish territory alongside Morocco on Thursday and Friday, according to Spanish authorities. Although at least 48,300 had returned to Morocco by Friday afternoon, the mass crossing prompted an immediate backlash from far-right politicians in Europe that seemed poised to linger.

Morocco and Algeria have been at odds for decades, chiefly over territory of Western Sahara. But their rivalry now extends far beyond the territory.
