The Royal Spanish Football Federation announced this Thursday the 15 Spanish stadiums that are opting to host the World Cup 2030in the event that FIFA finally grants Spain and Portugal the so-called Iberian candidacythe organization of that world cup, a decision that will not be known until 2024.
Madrid (Santiago Bernabéu and Metropolitano) and Barcelona (Camp Nou and Cornellà) are the only ones that offer two stadiums as venues for the 2030 World Cup. The rest of the cities that aspire to host matches at that event are Seville (La Cartuja), Malaga (La Rosaleda), Bilbao (San Mamés), La Coruña (Riazor), Gijón (El Molinón), Las Palmas (Gran Canaria Stadium), Murcia (Enrique Roca), Vigo (Balaídos) and San Sebastián (Anoeta).
The other two cities that aspire to host this World Cup are Valencia and Zaragoza, whose stadiums (Mestalla and La Romareda, respectively) will be newly built, in the first case, or renovated, in the second.
In the event that the Iberian candidacy organizes the World Cup, Spain will have 11 venues, so the Federation will have to rule out four of the 15 officially presented. Portugal, for its part, would have three venues: the Da Luz and José Alvalade stadiums (Lisbon) and O Dragao (Porto).
The RFEF and representatives of the Government of Spain met this Thursday at the Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas (Madrid) with the Autonomous Communities, municipalities and clubs interested in hosting the 2030 World Cup.
The proposal that competes with the Iberian candidacy is the South America that they share Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chilewhich in June of this year made their dream of hosting the 2030 World Cup official on the centenary of the first FIFA World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930. Uruguayans and Argentines were the finalists of that event.
