  "summary": "Alberto Nunez Feijoo, the leader of the opposition Popular Party, has stated that Spain should withdraw from co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Portugal and Morocco if the country is not awarded the tournament final. Feijoo, who is the frontrunner in opinion polls ahead of a snap election, argued that the final should be held in Spain because the nation is capable of organizing such events and is the reigning men's and women's World Cup champion.\n\nCity AM reports that the issue has caused strain between Spanish football officials and Fifa due to suspicions that Morocco may be chosen to host the final. Feijoo confirmed that if Spain is overlooked for the match, he would take steps for the country to withdraw from organizing the tournament.",
