As far as i understand Morocco is the favorite to win, purely because of the number of votes they are supposed to have.

I have heard and read the opposite

Here in Arab media most of people in media say that the North American bid is the favorite , especially after Trump threatened countries that will vote against the American bid , geographically Morocco guarantees African votes and the North American side guarantees both Concacaf and Conmebol votes , in Asia i think the US side is much more favored , Japan , korea , gulf countries will all vote for the US side , and ofc they have the power to convince others to do so , in Europe i think it's not really obvious which side European nations will go , at least France and Russia support Morrocan bid but will they convince others to do so , overall i think the North American bid will win

Morocco got 2.7 \5  of bid scoring the lowest one while the rest got 4 

according to fifa because Morocco needs to build 8 new stadium + hôtels 

also Africa hosted recently in 2010 

so USA  will win this as many african countries will vote for ,after the Trump speech

This FIFA congress is just amazing

 

"Morocco is one of the safest countries in the world," says bid leader, Moulay Hafid Elalamy. This is according to international and American organisations, we are told, and then there is a shot across the bow at their rival over gun crime. "All weapons are banned in Morocco," he says.

Well, that's what the bookmakers say as well, so they are indeed the favorite

The North-American bid (Usa, Mexico and Canada) chosen to host 2026 FIFA World Cup

Meh, although both options were 'meh' in my opinion so anyway
