Alejandro Irarragorri, David Guerra y Alfonso Villalva Yesterday they saw each other’s faces with the mayor, Carmen Moriyon, in the Gijón City Hall. The first meeting of the owner of Sporting with the councilor, appointed last June, was brief, lasting about twenty minutes. The summit between Sporting and the local government was held around twenty o’clock in the afternoon. The meeting also coincided with some absolutely frenetic hours due to the hot news news. Because Moriyón received the red-and-white executives just one day after deciding to remove Vox from the local government. While the directors of the red and white club visited the City Hall in the middle of the World Cup earthquake, once it was known that the prominent international event will be held in Spain in 2030 (in addition to five other countries). The meeting, in any case, was already planned before these latest events occurred, which, logically, have ended up having a lot of weight in the event.
Irarragorri, the main promoter of the El Molinón candidacy, showed Moriyón his great satisfaction with the fact that the 2030 World Cup will be held in Spain, according to different sources. The managers of the sportinguista team explained to the councilor that, at present, no further details are known about the sporting event. It is also not known with certainty how many venues there will be for Spain or when FIFA plans to announce which cities will be venues. Some sources suggest that the entity chaired by Infantino will report on future venues in 2024, although in view of the latest events no one dares to be categorical about anything. The sporting executives assured that when they obtain more information from the organizing committee they will let the City Council know as quickly as possible. In this way, the same sources maintain, they decided to hold another meeting with the mayor to continue advancing the project. “It is evident that a World Cup is something very exciting, but we understand that El Molinón is a project that is too ambitious for what is intended and that, of course, the City Council cannot finance. Aside from this issue, at this moment we do not know how it could be financed,” says the mayor.
Race to be the headquarters
The race for the 2030 World Cup no longer focuses on which bid will host the event, but, after FIFA’s announcement to divide the event between three continents and six countries, with Spain leading the winning Iberian bid, the fight is now on. how they will divide the cake, which is very juicy. The current scenario, after the latest turn of the organization chaired by Gianni Infantino, casts uncertainty. A society created by FIFA is the only entity that will have the power to decide, but the battle between the countries that already know that they will be organizers and between the cities – or stadiums – that aspire within each country to host is currently going on for hours. very bloody The latest information indicates that Infantino will require the Iberian candidacy to have between 14 (the minimum) and 18 stadiums in total. And Morocco already announced yesterday that it wants to take 8 venues, which would complicate Asturias’ options. The African country also indicated its intention to host the final in the future stadium that they will build in Casablanca, when everything seems to indicate that it will be held in the Santiago Bernabéu, whose remodeling is now in its final phase. “You have to fight it. Tini Areces said that only battles that don’t happen are lost. What can’t be is that we resign ourselves and out of fear of losing battles… Not fighting them. We always have to fight them. I’m very feisty, very calm, but also very feisty,” Adrián Barbón, president of the Principality, explained this Thursday. “If El Molinón is one of the chosen stadiums, we are going to get involved in the way we can together with the City Council (of Gijón). Not only for El Molinón, but for the impact of Asturias as a whole. It would have positive effects throughout Asturias. , also in Oviedo,” the socialist said yesterday.
On the other hand, Irarragorri plans to meet this morning with Javier Tebas at the La Liga summit being held today in Gijón. The idea that all parties have on the table is that, if the agenda allows it, the president of the Spanish football association can later visit – probably in the afternoon – the Mareo facilities to learn about their evolution after the works that have been paid for with CVC funds.
The stadium will account for 35% of the venue’s grade
FIFA will examine the venues. It will do so through a criterion that gives a lot of strength (70%) to the total of the infrastructures that are projected, while the rest (30%) will be qualified by the impact of commercial exploitation. In terms of infrastructure, stadiums weigh in the final grade (35%), hotels and training fields (10%), hotel spaces (7.5%) for fans, transportation (7.5%), Fan Zones for fans (5%) and the spaces dedicated to the IBC (international transmission center). Each venue will be voted: between 0 and 1.9 if it does not meet the minimum requirements; from 2 to 2.9 if it is satisfactory; between 3 and 3.9 if it is good) and, finally, between 4 and 5 (if it is considered very good). The legacy left by the work will also be valued.
Oviedo, on the sidelines of the World Cup and without news from Sporting
Oviedo considers that the arrival of the 2030 World Cup is good news for Spanish football, for its economy and is confident that it will give the country the best external image. The blue entity, however, is quite outside the entire operation of choosing venues, with the club focused on its short and long-term future. In that sense, the great project that Oviedo is working on is the future sports city of Latores. In the current situation, the Tartiere would not meet the requirements to host the World Cup (it has 30,000 spectators and 40,000 are required), and the club considers that carrying out a major project in a stadium that is also municipal property is not what the entity needs in these moments. Furthermore, at least until now, Sporting has not contacted Oviedo to discuss any matter regarding the World Cup.
