FIFA has already announced that 2030 World Cup will be held in six countries. The opening matches in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay and the rest of the competition in Portugal, Spain and Morocco. Being the first World Cup to be held on three continents.

Of all the venues, Spain is the one with the most and best first-class stadiums, so initially The Iberian country will have 10 headquarters, Portugal with three, like Morocco and three more in South America divided into one for each country. It is even expected that the grand final will be in Spanish territory.

The Spanish press has already revealed some probable venues for the cup and others that will be more than clear, such as the Camp Nou and the Santiago Bernabéu. These are the 15 venues that Spain would be profiling to host the 2030 World Cup matches.

Santiago Bernabéu, Camp Nou, San Mamés and Metropolitano

These four venues located in Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao; They are four of the six largest stadiums in all of Spain and would almost certainly end up hosting the 2030 World Cup.

The Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid has just undergone a renovation and with its capacity of 82,000 it is even poised to host the grand final. However, the Camp Nou, which is currently being remodeled, will have a venue for 105,000 spectators ready by 2026 and also wants to host the final.

San Mamés is another stadium that was remodeled very recently and another of Spain’s favorite venues. Its 53,000 seats make it the sixth largest stadium in the country and where there will surely be several cup matches.

Finally, among the favorites is Metropolitano de Madrid, the home of Atlético since 2017 when it was expanded for 70,000 people and profiled as another of the almost safe venues for the World Cup.

La Cartuja, RCDE Stadium and Reale Arena

Two other stadiums that meet FIFA’s requirements to host the world’s largest sporting event are La Cartuja in Seville. A stadium that in recent years has hosted the Copa del Rey finals and the Spanish soccer team itself.

It currently has 58,000 seats and is fully suitable to host the World Cup, without the need for renovations. Despite not being the official stadium of any club, it is one of the venues that appears to be safe.

Another almost certain will be the RCDE Stadium, home of Espayol de Barcelona. This sports venue has a capacity of 41,000 people, was inaugurated in 2009 and is also “ok” with FIFA requirements, so it will surely host some group stage matches.

While in the Basque Country the Reale Arena, the stadium where Real Sociedad lives, underwent a remodeling in 2019. Which left the venue with a capacity of 40,000 people, enough to host a World Cup match and to be a clear candidate for campus.

Those who need remodeling to be candidates

The seven venues mentioned above are those that do not need to comply with FIFA’s requirements to present themselves as venues, so it would almost be a fact that they will host at least one World Cup match in Spain.

On the other hand, a group of stadiums are listed as possible venues, but they would have to expand their capacity (the minimum required is 40,000) to run as candidates, these are some of them.

New Mestalla, Balaídos and El Molinon

Since 2007, Valencia began the construction of its new stadium, the Nuevo Mestalla, however since 2009 it has been completely paralyzed. Even so, it is still a possible venue for the World Cup if construction is completed on time, as it would have a capacity of 72,000 people.

Balaídos hosted the 1982 World Cup and wants to repeat it in 2030. Celta’s stadium is one of those that must be remodeled the most if it wants to be a strong candidate. It currently has only 29,000 spectators and although it is being remodeled, it must comply with FIFA requirements to apply.

Finally, El Molinon, which is one of the oldest stadiums in Spain, wants to catch on in the World Cup party. Like those mentioned above, it must remodel its structure according to FIFA regulations. This detail would already be managed between the Gijón City Council and some investment groups, to invest $300 million dollars in expanding the venue to about 45,000 seats.

For now, Spain has not made any official list of venues, however the information handled by media outlets such as El País, Marca and Relevo, point to these 10 stadiums as candidates for hosting the 2030 World Cup.
