Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu frontrunner to host 2030 FIFA World Cup final: Report

Morocco, Portugal, and Spain will co-host the 2030 World Cup tournament.

After a deal between FIFA and Real Madrid, the famous Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid is anticipated to be the site of the 2030 FIFA World Cup final, as seen in Jose Felix Diaz’s report in MARCA. The agreement is in place, according to those familiar with the matter, even if the decision has not yet been formally announced.

Morocco, Portugal, and Spain will co-host the 2030 World Cup, making it a historic event. A Coruna, Barcelona, Bilbao, Las Palmas, Madrid, Málaga, San Sebastian, Sevilla, and Zaragoza are among the Spanish cities scheduled to host games.

However, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium has become the front-runner for the grand finale.

One of the main reasons for this choice was FIFA’s solid working relationship with Real Madrid. Both organisations have maintained a cordial and constructive relationship throughout the years. This most recent development is another indication of their increasing congruence.

Barcelona had also submitted a request to host the final at Spotify Camp Nou, which has recently undergone renovations. Last month, Elena Fort, the club’s vice president, formally declared that Barcelona’s home stadium should be given the honour of hosting the World Cup final.

However, the city’s proposal seems to have been undermined by the numerous delays and uncertainty that have plagued the project to finish the new Camp Nou.

FIFA is reportedly focusing on infrastructure stability and preparedness, areas where Madrid now have an advantage, even if the World Cup is still five years away.

With its central position, state-of-the-art facilities, and proven track record of hosting high-profile matches and events, Real Madrid’s refurbished Bernabeu currently appears poised to host the largest football match in the world in 2030.
