Calls made for Spotify Camp Nou to host 2030 World Cup instead of Santiago Bernabeu

The 2030 World Cup final's host stadium remains undecided, with two contenders: Barcelona’s Spotify Camp Nou and Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu.

FIFA is likely to favor the Santiago Bernabeu, but Camp Nou, set for full readiness by 2026, is also making its case.

Barcelona’s Councillor for Sports, David Escude, claims Camp Nou is the best option, highlighting its modern infrastructure and seating capacity.

He notes that Barcelona's city, beyond the stadium itself, offers significant appeal.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s stadium faces challenges with seating capacity, according to the technical assessment.

If selected, hosting the final would be a major win for both the city and the club, but the decision remains uncertain.
