Morocco to open and Spain the final: RFEF's 2030 World Cup plan | OneFootball

The Royal Spanish Football Federation is working with FIFA on a proposal to entice Morocco with the opening match of the 2030 World Cup so that it backs down from its plan to take the Final.

The conflict between Spain, Morocco, and FIFA over the distribution of roles for the 2030 World Cup eased tensions a little. Only a little, because although there was a decline in hostilities, there still appears to be no agreement among all parties on defining the roles they will play in organizing the tournament.

The Moroccan federation remains determined to secure the deciding match, which it promises to host at the Grand Stade Hassan II, with a capacity of 115,000 spectators. Spain, meanwhile, argues that the Santiago Bernabéu, because of its history and its amenities, is the best option for the final.

In that context, according to the newspaper Marca, the RFEF is working with FIFA on the option of Morocco hosting the opening match, with the understanding among all those involved that the last match would be held in Casablanca.

If that happens, it remains to be seen what role Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will get, as they had received FIFA’s nod to host three opening matches as part of the celebration of the tournament’s centenary.
