The final of the 2030 men’s FIFA World Cup will take place in Spain, according to the President of the Spanish Football Federation, Rafael Louzan.
Spain, along with Portugal and Morocco, will co-host the tournament, while the first three matches will be held in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the competition.
Although Morocco has shown interest in hosting the final, Louzan stated that “Spain has demonstrated its ability to organize events over many years. It will take the lead for the 2030 World Cup, and the final will be held here.”
The Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid and Barcelona’s Nou Camp are considered the top contenders for the final match, but Louzan did not provide additional specifics.
