Legendary stadium ‘doesn’t comply with regulations’ to host World Cup final, claims politician who demands rivals get it

THE Santiago Bernabeu is not fit to host the 2030 World Cup final, according to a Barcelona-based politician.

Reports suggested that Fifa wanted the showpiece to be held Real Madrid’s iconic stadium.

Barcelona’s Camp Nou is also in contention to host the 2030 World Cup final

While, Morocco are planning on building the 115,000-capacity Grand Stade Hassan II that’s also a consideration.

However, David Escudé, the Councillor for Sports at Barcelona City Council, has revealed Barcelona would be a more favourable venue instead.

“As of today, according to Fifa’s requirements, the Bernabéu could not host a World Cup final,” he said on ‘Tot Costa’ on Catalunya Ràdio.

“However, the new stadium being built in Morocco and the Spotify Camp Nou do have the capacity to host the final.

“Our rival would not be the Bernabéu, which would be too small, but Morocco.”

The councillor for sport was also asked if Spain would accept the Spotify Camp Nou hosting the final.

He answered: “With the current Government there would be no problem, things are changing.”

The 2030 World Cup will be held in SIX countries across THREE continents.

In a remarkable deal stitched together by Fifa President Gianni Infantino, the opening three matches of the tournament will be played in South America.

That will see the first match played in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo, followed by Argentina hosting a game in Buenos Aires, before the third fixture is held in Asuncion, Paraguay.

The six teams involved in those games will then fly across the Atlantic, with the rest of the tournament shared between Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

England could be one of the teams involved, meaning the Three Lions would have to travel approximately 6,500 miles to South America for their first match.

They would then have to travel the same distance back to Europe and Africa for their remaining group games either in Spain, Portugal or Morocco.
