Spain FA Back Santiago Bernabeu about Camp Nou in the World Cup Final Plan

The president of RFEF (Spanish), Rafael Louzon, has supported Santiago Bernabéu Stadium of Real Madrid to organize the FIFA 2030 World Cup final.

Spain has been confirmed as joint hosts for the tournament, together with Portugal and Morocco, reflecting the 2026 host trio model in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The final details of the schedule for the competition have not yet been confirmed with all eyes on where the final will be organized.

Eight stadiums have been presented in Spain, including Bernabéu, along with Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona.

The iconic stadium has suffered setbacks in construction work in recent months, with insecure Barcelona of whether they can play at home before the end of the current season.

David Escude, Councilor for Sports at the Barcelona City Council, has filed the claim of the Barcelona Stadium is the most appropriate, but that is not universally agreed.

As the conversations continue on where the final will take place, with the potential that Morocco presents a package that accepts FIFA, the RFEF has offered an update.

The new President Rafael Lozan left a clue that Madrid is favored on Barcelona at this stage of negotiations.

“I want the final to be played in the Bernabéu because it is the stadium located in the capital of the country and also has the greatest capacity,” said an interview with El Cafelito, through the sports world.

Despite being corrected by its capacity number, with the new spotify Camp Nou, which will have the largest number of seats once the renovations are completed (105,000 compared to almost 85,000 in the Bernabeu), Lozan repeated his opinion on The matter.

Louzan is anxious to include stadiums in all regions of Spain and confirmed that the Nou Mestalla stadium in Valencia could be on the list if it meets the construction objectives before 2026.
