Gianni Infantino has committed to holding the 2030 World Cup final in Morocco at the new Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca. This announcement shifts the focus from the previously suggested venue, Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium. Morocco aims to boost its influence on the tournament, which it will co-host with Spain and Portugal. However, any assurance of the final venue may hinge on approval from Saudi Arabia, which has yet to respond. Critics warn that such promises from Infantino may not be guaranteed with leadership changes.
