SportLightning Posted October 12, 2024 Report Posted October 12, 2024 As heard by David Escudi the sports advisor to Barcelona, Madrid will not host the final since it did not meet the FIFA specifications. That means Casablanca's Stade Hassan II would be the favorite to host the final and could also host the opening. https://www.fanzword.com/surprise-morocco-is-closer-than-madrid-to-hosting-the-2030-world-cup-final/ 2 Quote
SportLightning Posted October 12, 2024 Report Posted October 12, 2024 That is unfortunate for Madrid. Now that leaves Casablanca (Morocco) and Barcelona (Spain) in the running to host the final. 2 Quote

You need to look at the context, the source is dubious at best. Escudi is stirring the pot in the endless Barcelona-Madrid rivalry. The Bernabeau just underwent a renovation that had made it a state-of-the-art stadium fully capable of hosting any FIFA WC final. Escudi also gave no specifics either. As for Morocco, Casablanca is a distant third given they don't even have enough their stadium built yet and they've been talking about it for well over ten years. 1 Quote

You must be really naive if you believe that fake news. Quote
SportLightning Posted November 30, 2024 Report Posted November 30, 2024 I heard that Morocco, Portugal and Spain has a higher score of 4.2 which them and Saudi Arabia's 2034 bid are the highest scoring candidates of any FIFA World Cup bidders surpassing Canada, Mexico and USA's 2026 joint bid of 4.0, that's amazing. While Argentina-Paraguay-Uruguay's centenary joint bid has a score of 3.6, we are less than two weeks away for the final decision for these bidders to be ratified as official hosts. Quote
