The Spanish Football Federation revealed on Tuesday that the 2030 World Cup final will be held in Spain, which will co-host the tournament with Portugal and Morocco.
Morocco, Portugal and Spain will host the 2030 World Cup, a tournament that will mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).
In statements published by the Spanish news agency, the president of the Spanish Football Federation said, "Spain has a long history of organizing and will be the leader for the 2030 World Cup, where the final match will be held here."
The president of the Spanish Federation touched on the infrastructure in Morocco, pointing to some of the challenges that emerged during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, saying: "Morocco is making great progress and has wonderful stadiums, and we must acknowledge what they have accomplished, but some scenes in the Africa Cup of Nations showed weaknesses that affect the image of world football."
Lozan stressed that the goal is to deliver the best edition in the history of the World Cup, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the first edition held in Uruguay, saying: "We have to live up to the responsibility to ensure that the 2030 edition is the best ever."
Spanish media had promoted the recently renovated Santiago Bernabeu stadium as a possible venue for the final, but recent reports have indicated that Barcelona may also submit a bid to host the final after the renovation of Camp Nou.
The 2030 World Cup will see Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, all Latin American countries, co-host one match as part of the tournament's centenary celebrations.
It is worth noting that Spain has hosted the World Cup only once before, in 1982, when Italy won its third title with a 3-1 victory over Germany in the final.
