RABAT, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazilian football star Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha has been named as ambassador of the Moroccan bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Morocco's 2026 Bid Committee announced on Friday.

"I am convinced that Morocco, the land of football, will celebrate the best of the game, offering the world an impeccable tournament full of authentic passion," Real Madrid former star was quoted as saying by the statement.
