The war has only just begun. Both hosts of the 2030 Football World Cup, alongside Portugal, Spain and Morocco have been engaged in a real struggle for influence and communication for several weeks. At the center of the debates: the hosting of the final, not yet attributed to one of the three organizing countries.
Monday evening, Rafael Louzan, the president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) tried to provide a definitive answer to the question. “The final of the 2030 World Cup will take place in Spain,” he declared on the sidelines of a gala organized by the Hispanic sports press, during which the leader received an award.
“Spain has an organizational capacity that it has been able to demonstrate for so many years. It will be the locomotive of the 2030 World Cup and the final will take place here,” he said, according to Marca, defending the candidacy of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, considerably renovated recently, to host the final. « We are working so that Spain is up to the task and in 2030 the best World Cup in history, the one that will mark 100 years of the first edition, organized in Uruguay in 1930.”
“Scenes that tarnish the image of football”
The president of the RFEF did not fail to take the pole to address a little dig at his Moroccan competitor: “This country is, at all levels, in the midst of a transformation. We must recognize the successes, with the magnificent CAN stadiums. However, I must add that we witnessed scenes during this competition which tarnished the image of football,” he recalled in reference to the chaos of the final between the Atlas Lions and Senegal, between interruption of the match and attempted invasion of the pitch.
Words which will not fail to provoke a reaction in Morocco, while the Shereef kingdom has undertaken a real wave of renovation of its stadiums in preparation for the 2030 World Cup. In the hope of hosting the final of the global event, the host of the last CAN is currently building a brand new enclosure with 115,000 seats near Casablanca.
