The stadiums proposed to host both the opening match and the final of the World Cup are he Santiago Bernabéuhe Camp Nou and Hassan II of Casablanca, and from Madrid, Barcelona and Morocco they have already begun to show their cards to be the one chosen by FIFA.

The councilor for the Les Corts and Sports neighborhood of Barcelona City Council, David Escudé, assured this Friday that the future Spotify Camp Nou and the city of Barcelona are “the best candidate” that FIFA will have on the table for the World Cup final.

“We know that we have the best candidacy of all the existing ones. That said, we can be very proud and optimistic. The Spotify Camp Nou is one of the stadiums where both the final and the inauguration are contemplated, as obviously the best stadium there will be in the 2030 World Cup, without a doubt,” Escudé said at a press conference.

Likewise, Escudé has denied that the RFEF is going to present only the Santiago Bernabéu option as a candidate for the final: “I am not aware that the RFEF only the Bernabéu has proposed”.

In this sense, both cities tie in transportation and accommodationalthough the Catalan capital narrowly surpasses the Spanish capital in terms of working spaces for fan zones.
