Morocco attributes the 2030 World Cup final to Casablanca

Marruecos expects the 2030 World Cup final to be held at the future Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane, according to Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Moroccan Football Federation. However, FIFA has stated that no decision has been made yet on the venue. The stadium, currently under construction, is expected to have a capacity of 115,000 spectators and is set to open in late 2027.

Spain and Morocco are competing to host the final, with Spain's Rafael Louzón, president of the Spanish Football Federation, also advocating for the final to be held in his country.
