The 2030 FIFA World Cup is quickly approaching and FIFA is in talks with Real Madrid to use the newly renovated Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid, Spain as one of the host venues. A report from Spanish sports daily MARCA indicates that FIFA is seeking the stadium’s availability for a period of around three months, which Real Madrid is currently considering.
FIFA has expressed its interest in having the Bernabéu as the crown jewel of the tournament, despite concerns about the duration of its occupancy. While Spain will share hosting duties with Portugal, Morocco, and potentially Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the iconic status of the Bernabéu could make it the perfect venue for the final showdown of the world’s biggest football event.
Real Madrid and FIFA seem to have a positive working relationship, which could facilitate a deal for the Bernabéu to host the most prestigious match of the tournament – the World Cup Final. However, it remains to be seen if this request will be granted by Real Madrid.
