      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FIFA says a decision on whether Morocco or Spain will host the 2030 World Cup final has not yet been made, despite competing claims from football officials in both countries.</p>
<p>Moroccan Football Federation President Fouzi Lakjaa says the final will be played at the new 115-thousand-seat Hassan II Stadium being built near Casablanca. However, FIFA says the host venue will be decided "in due course."</p>
<p>Spanish football officials are also pushing to host the final, arguing that Spain's status as reigning men's and women's world champions strengthens its case. Potential venues include Barcelona's renovated Camp Nou and Real Madrid's Santiago Bernab&eacute;u Stadium.</p>
<p>The 2030 World Cup will be jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with opening matches also being staged in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay to mark the tournament's centenary.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here's a tightened version for the site:</p>
<hr>
<p>The Barbados Tridents snapped a four-game losing streak in style Sunday night, cruising to an eight-wicket win over the Saint Lucia Kings at Kensington Oval in the Republic Bank CPL.</p>
<p>Put in to bat, the Kings raced to 51 for 1 inside six overs behind a quickfire Kamil Pooran innings, but Mujeeb Ur Rahman's breakthrough dismissal of Pooran (37) flipped the game. Mujeeb and Jakeem Pollard choked the middle order, and despite a defiant 34 from Roston Chase, the Kings limped to 138 for 6, losing three wickets in the final five overs alone. Mujeeb finished with 3 for 22; Daniel Sams added 2 for 20.</p>
<p>Barbados' chase started fast, with Brandon King and Zachary Carter putting on 41 before both fell. That brought Quinton de Kock and Rivaldo Clarke together, and the pair eased through an unbroken 76-run stand to seal the win with 13 balls unused &mdash; de Kock finishing on 47*, Clarke on 36*.</p>
<p>It's the Tridents' third win of the season and second over the Kings. Barbados continues its homestand against the Patriots Thursday, while Saint Lucia faces the Warriors Wednesday in its final group game.</p>
<p><strong>Scores:</strong> St Lucia Kings 138-6 (20 ov) &mdash; Pooran 37, Chase 34, Campbell 24; Mujeeb 3-22, Sams 2-20. Barbados Tridents 139-2 (17.5 ov) &mdash; de Kock 47*, Clarke 36*, Carter 32, King 22. Tridents won by 8 wickets.</p>]]></content:encoded>
