Morocco Set To Challenge Real Madrid For 2030 World Cup Final

Morocco are gearing up for a battle with Real Madrid for the rights to host the 2030 World Cup final, THEEAGLE confirmed.

The competition will take place in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco in 2030. The Times says that the African country has made a push to beat the Spanish city to hosting the final, despite Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid being thought to be the most likely destination.

The three host countries were revealed earlier this month. It is the first time the tournament has been staged by three nations from two continents.

However, due to commemorative matches being played in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay to honour the 100th anniversary of the World Cup, the competition will spread to a different continent and three additional nations.

FIFA has not yet decided where the championship game will be place, but it was assumed that Madrid’s stadium would win out. Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, endorsed the strategy earlier this month, saying: “The World Cup final has to be in Madrid, because it’s the capital of Spain, and in the Bernabeu because it will be the best stadium in the world. I think it’s very good for Spanish football and for this country. The happiness of this news isn’t going to be affected by some games being played in South America, Portugal or Morocco, it’s very good news.”

FIFA is yet to announce the location of the 2026 World Cup final as well. This competition will take place in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
