RFEF president Rafael Louzan expressed confidence that the 2030 FIFA World Cup final should take place at either Camp Nou or the Santiago Bernabeu in Spain. Hosting alongside Portugal and Morocco, Louzan emphasized Spain's historical connection to the tournament and the importance of venue capacity. He remarked that a renovated Camp Nou would hold 25,000 more spectators than the Bernabeu, making it an attractive option.

Spain must first secure the final over Morocco's Casablanca stadium, then face competition between the two Spanish venues.
