At this time it has yet to be determined which stadium will host the 2030 World Cup final, although it will almost certainly be between two iconic arenas: Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou and Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu.
The latter is considered the favorite by FIFA, although Spotify Camp Nou, which should be fully fit in 2026, is making its case. According to David Escude, Councilor for Sports of the Barcelona City Council, Barcelona's stadium is the most suitable (via Relevo).
“We have every opportunity to organize the final. We did not say it, but it was the application assessment committee itself that designated us as the best of the applications from a technical point of view. We have the best city and the best stadium.
“As of today, Real Madrid is very tight in terms of the number of seats available to organize a final, according to the file provided to us with the applications to organize a final. The city of Barcelona, beyond the stadium, which is the newest and has the most seats, has an attraction that makes the candidacy very powerful.”
It would be a big boost for the city of Barcelona and the club itself if Spotify Camp Nou were selected, although it is still too early to say whether their bid will be successful.
