Spain will host 2030 World Cup final, federation president insists
Spain favours Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the final, while Morocco has proposed the 115,000-seat Hassan II Stadium under construction near Casablanca, with Portugal lacking a suitable venue.
Rafael Louzan, head of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), affirmed on Saturday that Spain will host the final of the 2030 World Cup. The decision on the final venue will be made in 2028. Spain prefers the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Real Madrid, while Morocco has proposed the 115,000-capacity Hassan II Stadium in Benslimane, near Casablanca.
Portugal lacks a suitable stadium. Louzan, speaking at an RFEF conference in Madrid, dismissed the possibility of Spain withdrawing its bid if Morocco were chosen for the final, stating the notion was "entirely hypothetical" and in line with Fifa's tradition of rotating the World Cup to the European continent. A Fifa technical delegation recently toured Spanish stadiums that are vying for hosting matches during the tournament.
