The final of the 2030 FIFA World Cup could take place at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium. This was reported by Idman.biz, citing AS.
According to the source, the possibility of hosting the final in Madrid may be linked to the close relationship between Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The final list of host cities is expected to be announced in the final months of 2026, while FIFA will not approve the tournament’s final format, to be co hosted by Spain, Morocco, and Portugal, until the end of the summer.
FIFA is considering Spain’s early leadership in the bidding process, the number of stadiums the country can provide, and its standing in world football. The appeal of the Santiago Bernabeu is further strengthened by its global brand, recent modernization, and proven ability to host major international events.
Other venues under consideration include Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano and Camp Nou, although uncertainty remains surrounding the renovation of Barcelona’s stadium. Meanwhile, Benfica’s stadium is not regarded as a serious contender.
