The 2030 World Cup final will be held in Spain, Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) head Rafael Louzan reiterated on Saturday, adding that he is not considering "withdrawing" should he be wrong. Spain is co-organising the tournament with Portugal and Morocco, and the decision on the venue for the final will be made in 2028, Louzan said.

Spain favours Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the final. Portugal does not have a suitable stadium, while Morocco has suggested the 115,000-capacity Hassan II Stadium being built in Benslimane near Casablanca. Speaking at a conference at the RFEF's Ciudad del Futbol on the outskirts of Madrid, Louzan said "there is no other plan than for the final to be held in Spain."S1

Louzan was responding to Alberto Nunez Feijoo, leader of the right-wing People's Party. In a television interview on November 5, Feijoo said that if he became prime minister in the general election on November 29, he would advocate withdrawing Spain's bid to host the World Cup should Morocco be awarded the final. Louzan called the question entirely hypothetical, saying "that notion simply doesn't exist" and that under FIFA's tradition of rotating the World Cup, the final "belongs to the European continent."S1

A delegation of FIFA technical experts spent the previous week visiting Spanish stadiums that hope to host matches during the tournament, Louzan said.S1
