The 2030 World Cup is knocking on Spain's door! FIFA Begins its Key Inspection

The countdown to the World Cup event begins with crucial visits to Spanish venues, Portugal and Morocco.

The football calendar accelerates. Next week marks the official start of the countdown to the World Cup in Spain, Morocco and Portugal to be held in 2030. A FIFA delegation will land in Spain to carry out an exhaustive check of the potential venues that will host this great event.

The first stop on this ambitious journey will be the vibrant City of Barcelona on Monday March 9. The FIFA delegation will travel to Spotify Camp Nou to evaluate first-hand the progress of the remodeling works. This iconic stadium, which recently hosted the second leg of the semifinals against Atlético de Madrid with a record attendance of 45,399 spectators this season, is a strong candidate to host highly relevant matches.

The works on the third tier of the Spotify Camp Nou, which are expected to be completed in the middle of next season, will increase its capacity to 105,000 spectators. The roof, for its part, will be fully operational between the end of 2027 and the beginning of 2028, consolidating the stadium as an architectural and sporting jewel.

The mayor of Barcelona, ​​Jaume Collboni, has confirmed the presentation of the city's candidacy to host the World Cup final. The Spotify Camp Nou will compete for this honor with other giants such as the Santiago Bernabéu and the Hassan II stadium in Casablanca, promising a high-profile battle for the most coveted venue.

FIFA's agenda in Barcelona does not end there. On the same Monday, the delegation plans to visit the RCD Stadium in Cornellá, the other sports venue that could be part of the World Cup infrastructure.

On Tuesday, the focus will be on Zaragoza, while on Wednesday FIFA will move to Madrid. There, the emblematic Santiago Bernabéu and the modern Metropolitano stadium will be inspected, both with the hope of being selected as venues for the 2030 edition.

After the World Cup the venues will be finalized

The journey will continue on Thursday with a visit to Portugal. Inspections will resume the following Monday in other Spanish locations, including Las Palmas, with the exception of Málaga, which has declined its participation. Seville, Bilbao, San Sebastián and La Coruña are the other cities in the spotlight. However, the final decision on the number of venues and the possible inclusion of Valencia and Vigo will not be made until after next summer's World Cup. Morocco already has six confirmed venues, while Portugal will provide three.
