The president of Spain’s football federation announced that the men’s World Cup final would be played in Spain.
In 2030, Spain will be hosting the 100th anniversary along with Portugal and Morocco.
To mark this milestone, three celebratory matches are being played in Uruguay Paraguay Argentina before the tournament.
Morocco has also expressed interest in hosting a final.
They wanted to host the game in Casablanca. This is a large stadium that will accommodate 115,000 spectators.
Rafael Louzan had another plan in mind when he was President of the Spanish Football Federation.
Louzan stated at a Madrid event: “Spain is a country that has shown its organizational?capacity for many years.” It will lead the 2030 World Cup and the final will be held in Spain.
Louzan did not give any hints as to where the match will be held, although Camp Nou in Barcelona and Bernabeu in Madrid are both considered top contenders.

He also spoke of the chaotic scenes that took place at Afcon’s recent Final in Rabat.
The Senegalese team stormed the pitch when Morocco was awarded a VAR penalty.
Brahim Diaz had to wait for 15 minutes before he could take his spot-kick.
Senegal won the game in extra time after he missed.
The tournament in Morocco was seen as a test run for the World Cup.
Louzan does not think Morocco can host the World Cup final.
He said: “Morocco has undergone a real transformation, with its magnificent stadiums. It is important to recognize the good work. “But in the Africa Cup of Nations we saw scenes that damaged the image of the world of football.”
Fifa is the world’s governing body of sport and has the final word on where the match takes place.
Fifa has not yet commented on Louzan’s comments, nor have the Portuguese or Moroccan football federations.
FIFA said last year it was premature to choose the venue for the 2030 final, as the city chosen in 2026 had only been revealed two years earlier.
