One of the most important sporting events that could come to Spain in a few years is the World Cup. This tournament, held every four years by FIFA, has a significant bid for the year 2030: Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
Everything suggests that this triple bid has already convinced most FIFA voters, so there’s already speculation about the stadium chosen to host the final. One of the most well-known and important is Santiago Bernabéu, located in the capital of Spain.
FIFA’s decision to consider the first stadium of the 21st century for the 2030 World Cup final is not yet certain. However, the white club has received the message and already knows the requirements of the entity presided over by Gianni Infantino to be able to host the 2030 World Cup final.
The process of renovation and remodeling that Santiago Bernabéu stadium has undergone between 2019 and 2024 has incorporated different elements, such as the 360º scoreboard and the hypogeum. These civil engineering works, however, have meant the reduction of the capacity that the Madrid coliseum could have: 81,000 people.
To be an eligible stadium for the 2030 World Cup final, FIFA reminds that Madrid must make space for at least 80,000 spectators in its stadium. These adjustments that the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez must make to the building located on Concha Espina Avenue must be completed before a decision is made.
Knowing the ethics and work ethic that the executives led by Florentino Pérez have shown in the past, the modifications required by FIFA will become a reality in record time. Especially because hosting the 2030 World Cup final is a historic milestone for both the club and the stadium itself.
Especially after the arduous and costly process that has been undergone to have the ‘new’ stadium operational… although it is not yet complete. Because most of the technical aspects are finished, but the final installation of all businesses both inside and outside the stadium is still ongoing.
While waiting for that moment, Real Madrid will maintain its capacity at the 81,000 spectators it had planned during its renovation plans. In addition to having a leading and unique stadium in the European soccer elite, hosting the 2030 World Cup final is a new priority for the merengue team at this time.
