In which Spanish cities will the 2030 World Cup be played? Many candidates for few chosen ones
And, suddenly, a soccer World Cup. The designation of Spain, Portugal and Morocco as the host of the 2030 World Cup by FIFA came yesterday with several unknowns to be resolved within the candidacy itself. Regarding the championship there are answers to know and others known to measures.
Why does Negreira and Rubiales' football win the World Cup?
Where will the inauguration take place?
It is practically the only official thing, what FIFA specified in its statement. It will be at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, which already opened the 1930 World Cup, the first in history. Afterwards there will be two more first phase matches in South America: one in Argentina, specifically in Buenos Aires -supposedly at the Monumental-, and another in Paraguay, in principle at the Conmebol Stadium that must be built in Asunción in the coming years.
Where will the final be played?
In principle, the favorite stadium to host the final is the recently remodeled Santiago Bernabéu while the Camp Nou, also in the process of restoration, would host the fight for third and fourth place.. According to the Moroccan Football Federation, the two semifinals will be played in the Grand Stadium of Casablanca, which has yet to be built.
What other Spanish cities will experience the World Cup?
A year ago, Spain and Portugal were close to an agreement, but the entry of Morocco into the candidacy last March changed everything.. FIFA only accepts a maximum of 16 sub-venues, but that – like everything in the body that governs football – can change. If the limit is maintained, Spain will be left with six or seven designated stadiums. With Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou as fixtures, three other possible venues are thought to be ahead of the rest, Metropolitano, San Mamés and La Cartuja, and there remains a long list that will fight for a handful of games: Balaídos, Riazor, El Molinón, Anoeta, Nou Mestalla, La Romareda, RCDE Stadium, Nueva Condomina, La Rosaleda and the Gran Canaria Stadium. According to 'Marca', there are some that have already been ruled out by the organization.
In which Portuguese and Moroccan cities will the championship be held?
Portugal will have three World Cup stadiums and Morocco, six. In both cases the chosen ones have already been announced. In Portugal, Do Dragao, Da Luz and José Alvalade and in Morocco, the Grand Stadium of Casablanca, the Prince Moulay Abdellah of Rabat, the Ibn Batouta of Tangier, the Adrar of Agadir, the Marrakech stadium and the Fez stadium.
How many games will there be?
In the last World Cup, in Qatar, 64 matches were played, but the expansion of the number of teams present, from 32 to 48, will multiply that number significantly.. In 2030 there will be 104 meetings. According to Moroccan media, Spain, in addition to the final and the consolidation final, will retain two quarterfinals, four round of 16 matches and eight round of 32 matches.
Spain will organize the 2030 World Cup together with Portugal and Morocco When will it take place?
The 2030 World Cup in Spain, Portugal and Morocco has so many questions that not even its dates are known.. Historically, the championships have been held between June and July, although the last World Cup in Doha already showed that nothing is certain.. The next edition, in 2026, with the United States, Canada and Mexico as venues, will begin in June and end on July 19.
What countries will play?
The qualifying phase for the 2030 World Cup has not yet begun – nor has it started in 2026 – but there are already six qualified teams: all of which will be part of the organization. As announced by FIFA, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay already have a place. In addition, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) detailed that each country will play at home, so the opening match will have Uruguay as one of its protagonists and Spain will not visit Portugal or Morocco in their matches.. The ticket is not so important for Argentina, Spain or Uruguay, present in almost all editions, or for Portugal, fixed in the last ones, but it is for Paraguay and Morocco. The South American team has missed the last three games and the African's presence is intermittent. In 2022 he reached the semifinals, but before that he had missed 20 years, from 1998 to 2018.
