Santiago Bernabéu moves a step closer to hosting FIFA World Cup 2030 Final

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, has passed FIFA's first test in the bid to host the Final of the FIFA World Cup 2030, which will be organized by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", a FIFA delegation visited the stadium last Thursday to assess it, and expressed satisfaction with the visit, which boosted Real Madrid's hopes of hosting the Final.

The Bernabéu is competing to host the Final against Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, and the Hassan II Stadium in Morocco, which has emerged as one of the top contenders in recent months.

Real Madrid's bid is based on the stadium's location in the Spanish capital and its historical significance after hosting the FIFA World Cup Final in 1982, as well as its ability to host various sporting events. This was recently demonstrated by hosting a match in the American football league between FC Cincinnati and Atalanta.

The evaluation of the files is expected to continue over the coming months, with the FIFA World Cup announcing its final decision regarding the host stadium for the Final in 2028.
