Where will the 2030 World Cup final be played? Morocco could dash Spain's dream, but the Sports Minister is clear

"We will continue to work on this because we want, and it must be, for the World Cup final to be held in Spain. I am convinced that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will choose Spain to host the final match," Tolon stated in an interview with radio station Cadena Ser.

However, according to The Times, FIFA President Gianni Infantino allegedly promised Morocco the organization of the 2030 World Cup final if the North African nation supported his re-election in March 2027. FIFA immediately denied the British newspaper's report, stating that Infantino made no such promise. According to the federation, the venue for the final is yet to be decided.

Tolon asserts that Spain carries significant weight as the reigning world champion in both men's and women's football. She also highlighted the country's extensive experience in organizing major sporting and other events, offering excellent infrastructure and a safe environment. Spain last hosted the World Cup in 1982. According to the Spanish Sports Minister, the final could take place at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid or Camp Nou in Barcelona. Morocco is currently constructing a new 115,000-seat stadium in Casablanca.

The 2030 World Cup will be jointly hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with one match each also being held in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina as part of the centenary celebrations of the World Cup.
