Spain Insists It Will Host 2030 World Cup Final

Spanish Football Federation head Rafael Louzan reaffirmed on Saturday that Spain will host the 2030 World Cup final, dismissing suggestions that the country might lose the marquee match to co-hosts Portugal or Morocco.

Spain is jointly organising the tournament with its neighbours, with FIFA scheduled to decide on the venue in 2028.

While Spain favours Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Morocco has proposed a massive 115,000-capacity arena near Casablanca.

Louzan rejected remarks from opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who claimed he would withdraw Spain’s bid if Morocco secured the final should he win the November 29 general election.

The Spanish Football Federation head insisted that such a scenario does not exist, emphasising that FIFA’s traditional rotation principles reserve the tournament’s climax for the European continent.
