Morocco, Spain, and Portugal have revealed their proposed stadiums for hosting the 2030 World Cup following their joint bid presentation, announced by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
Spain plans to use 11 stadiums, while Morocco and Portugal propose 6 and 3 stadiums respectively, adhering to FIFA’s limit of 20 venues.
Spain’s proposed stadiums include two in Madrid (Bernabeu and Metropolitano) and two in Barcelona (Camp Nou and Cornellà-El Prat), with the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid slated for the final match. Other Spanish cities selected are Bilbao (San Mamés), San Sebastian (Reale Arena), La Coruña (Riazor), Zaragoza (La Romareda), Seville (La Cartuja), Malaga (La Rosaleda), and Gran Canaria. Some stadiums, like La Romareda, La Rosaleda, and Gran Canaria, require renovations to meet FIFA standards.
Selection criteria focused on technical, financial, and operational aspects.
Additionally, 45 sub-sites or Team Base Camps (TBCs) across 16 autonomous communities in Spain, including Andalusia, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, and the Community of Madrid, were identified to accommodate teams.
This approach aims to distribute economic and social benefits throughout the region during the 2030 World Cup.
FIFA’s decision on the bid acceptance will be announced during its General Assembly on December 11, 2024. Subsequently, the final tournament venues will be determined.
