Lakjaa’s statement named the Hassan II Stadium in Benslimane, near Casablanca, as the intended venue. The arena is still under construction but is being designed as a spectacular, high-capacity centrepiece for Morocco’s World Cup plans.
’s response, however, leaves the decision open. Until an official announcement arrives, the Hassan II Stadium should be considered a leading candidate rather than a confirmed final venue.
The Spanish options are equally formidable. Madrid’s renovated Santiago Bernabéu offers a global profile and a proven stage for major events, while Barcelona’s Camp Nou is being rebuilt with the ambition of becoming one of Europe’s largest football arenas.
Rafael Louzán, president of Spain’s federation, argued that the final should be played in Spain, saying: “É uma pena que, em relação à final, não tenha ficado claro onde ela será disputada.”
That position reflects the political and sporting weight behind the Spanish bid. The tournament will be hosted primarily by Morocco, Spain and Portugal, making the final venue a question of prestige as much as logistics.
A Moroccan final would underline the country’s growing influence in international football and reward its investment in infrastructure. A Spanish final would place the showpiece in a stadium with a deeper tradition of hosting elite European occasions.
For now, ’s position means all three reported candidates remain in contention. The next major storyline will be the formal venue announcement-and whether the final choice strengthens or strains the unity of the 2030 host partnership.
