By In a formal announcement, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has officially disclosed the stadiums proposed for the joint hosting of the 2030 World Cup with Morocco and Portugal. This announcement aims to clarify the distribution of venues among the co-hosting nations.
On Friday, the RFEF unveiled its comprehensive infrastructure plan for the 2030 World Cup. The organization listed the stadiums selected to host matches as well as the training camps for teams, pending FIFA’s approval. As previously indicated, the Iberian Peninsula will host more than half of the venues compared to Morocco and Portugal, with the latter having the smallest share.
11 out of 20 Stadiums for Spain
“Spain will have 11 sites, with 6 in Morocco and 3 in Portugal, in line with FIFA regulations that allow for a maximum of 20 stadiums,” the RFEF confirmed on its official website. “The RFEF has worked diligently on this proposal and shared it with its bid partners. However, both the Moroccan and Portuguese football federations agreed that FIFA’s rules, which cap the number of sites at 20, must be adhered to, resulting in Spain having 11 sites,” they elaborated.
According to various sources, the selected Moroccan venues include the Moulay Abdellah Complex in Rabat, Marrakech Stadium, Fès Stadium, Agadir Stadium, Tangier Stadium, and the under-construction Grand Stadium in Casablanca. This new Casablanca venue is proposed to host the final match, competing with Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium as the preferred choice by Spain.
