Spain to host 2030 World Cup final, federation says

According to the president of Spain’s football federation, the men’s World Cup final will take place in the 2030.

The tournament will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay serving as the host nation’s first three matches.

Morocco has expressed interest in hosting the final, but Rafael Louzan, the head of the Spanish Football Federation, said: “Spain has demonstrated its organizational capacity over many years.

The 2030 World Cup will be led by it, and this World Cup’s final will take place here.

The top two candidates for hosting the match are Barcelona’s Nou Camp and Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium, but Louzan did not provide further information.

The BBC has contacted the Portuguese and Moroccan football federations and the world’s ruling body Fifa, who has the final say in terms of the location of the game.

The Grand Stade Hassan II, which is scheduled to be finished in 2028 and will house 115, 000 spectators, is where Morocco wants to host the final in Casablanca.

Spain’s Louzan also mentioned the wild scenes from the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) final earlier this month at an event organized by the Madrid Sports Press Association on Monday.

Morocco had been discussing hosting the tournament as a 2030 test, but Rabat, Morocco’s capital, saw rioting scenes as it came to an end.

After Morocco were awarded a penalty following a video assistant referee check, Senegal coach Pape Thiaw, who had already angered by a decision to allow his side a goal in injury-time with the score 0-0, led his team off the field.

Senegal’s supporters attempted to force their way onto the pitch, but there was also unrest in the stands.

Senegal won the match with a 1-0 lead in extra time thanks to Brahim Diaz’s tame “Panenka” spot-kick, which was saved after a delay of about 17 minutes.

Morocco would have won the tournament’s first Afcon title since 1976 if Morocco had prevailed.

With magnificent stadiums, ” Morocco is actually going through a transformation,” Louzan said. We must acknowledge the success of the work.

However, scenes from the Africa Cup of Nations have ruined the reputation of international football.

Morocco will use six stadiums, while Portugal will use three, according to Spain, for the 2030 World Cup.

Fifa will host the opening competitions in South America, honoring Uruguay’s victory in the 1930 edition.
