Why Santiago Bernabeu is favourite to host 2030 FIFA World Cup final?

Bernabeu is among the options to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup final.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be contested in Spain, Morocco, and Portugal; according to an official announcement made during a remarkable FIFA Congress conducted via videoconference. Discussions concerning which stadium will host the tournament’s most crucial match—the final—have been triggered by this choice.

The final is anticipated to take place at Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, according to people close to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The RFEF notes that other ideas, such as a stadium in Casablanca or Camp Nou in Barcelona, are insignificant in contrast to the Madrid venue, even though FIFA will have the final say.

The committee are going with Real Madrid’s home ground for the final as it has many better features and will be easier to commute for the fans and players during the final.

The RFEF claims that Bernabéu is the only practical choice for a number of important reasons.

Madrid is a well-connected city, and the stadium is close to the international Barajas Airport.

Experience in structure: Madrid has hosted important athletic events, such as the Champions League finals, on a regular basis.

Continuous modernization: After the improvements are finished, Bernabéu will rank among the world’s finest technologically sophisticated stadiums.

The close ties between Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and FIFA president Gianni Infantino provide another point of contention. The choice of the final’s setting is greatly influenced by this partnership.

Other cities are putting in bids, while Santiago Bernabéu appears to be the front-runner. The idea of holding the final in Barcelona’s Camp Nou, the biggest stadium in Europe, has the backing of the Spanish government. In the meantime, Casablanca is being promoted by Morocco as a substitute for European locations.

But a European final seems more logical given FIFA’s emphasis on continent rotation. With their better facilities and expertise, Madrid and Barcelona are far ahead of Casablanca.

The RFEF stresses how important it is to host the final in Madrid. In addition to being a representation of athletic brilliance, Santiago Bernabéu is a location that is ideal for hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup final.
