Santiago Bernabeu to Host 2030 World Cup Final in Spain

On Wednesday, it was officially announced that Spain, in partnership with Portugal and Morocco, secured the rights to host the prestigious 2030 World Cup, successfully outbidding competing consortiums from South America, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Greece.

With the focus now turning to the choice of stadiums that will host matches throughout the tournament, decisions will be made in the upcoming weeks and months. However, one venue already confirmed is Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu. Over the past year, the iconic stadium has undergone extensive renovation to become a versatile arena, with football remaining its primary purpose. In seven years’ time, the Bernabeu will be the stage for international matches.

According to reports from Marca, the Santiago Bernabeu has been selected as the venue for the final of the 2030 World Cup, echoing its role as the host of the tournament’s final when Spain last organized the event back in 1982.

This news brings great satisfaction to Real Madrid, as it promises increased revenue for the club, aligning with the primary motivation behind the Bernabeu’s redevelopment efforts. The 2030 World Cup final is anticipated to be a spectacular event, one in which Spain aspires to be a key participant.
