Set to be jointly hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, the 2030 World Cup will mark a historic moment with matches spread across multiple countries and continents. Morocco, Portugal, and Spain have joined forces to organize the event, while South American nations Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile vie to host the opening matches.
With six years remaining until kickoff, attention has turned to the crucial decision of where to stage the final showdown.
Amidst controversies surrounding corruption and financial improprieties, the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) finds itself in a delicate position regarding its proposed Santiago-Bernabéu stadium.
Capitalizing on the uncertainty, Morocco has stepped forward with an ambitious proposal centered around a cutting-edge infrastructure project in Casablanca.
The North African nation aims to construct a state-of-the-art stadium capable of accommodating a staggering 110,000 spectators.
If realized, this visionary endeavor would make the proposed stadium the largest in Africa and the second largest in the world.
While Portugal, another key partner in the joint bid, lacks a stadium of sufficient capacity to host the final, Morocco’s grand vision positions it as a strong contender.
António Laranjo, the coordinator of the collaborative bid, has acknowledged Portugal’s limitations in this regard.
As discussions unfold, it appears increasingly likely that the final match of the 2030 World Cup will be contested between Spain and Morocco.
With the proposed date set for July 21, 2030, football fans around the globe eagerly await the outcome of this monumental decision, which will shape the legacy of the tournament for years to come.
