The 2030 tournament, co-hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, is scheduled to run from June 8 to July 21, 2030. Why the Bernabéu leads the packReal Madrid’s home ground underwent extensive renovations that brought its capacity to approximately 84,744 seats. That figure clears FIFA’s 80,000-seat minimum requirement for a World Cup final venue, a threshold that narrows the field considerably. It hosted the 1982 World Cup final between Italy and West Germany, a match that remains one of the tournament’s most celebrated chapters. Its president has indicated that the final should take place at either the Bernabéu or Barcelona’s Camp Nou, effectively narrowing Spain’s own internal pitch to two venues.
