The requirements laid down by the Spanish Football Federation to be able to host the 2030 World Cup that Spain wants to organize with Portugal and in which our country will have 11 of the 14 places.

One of the most important points lies in the requirements to be able to host this World Cup event. And in the case of the final and the opening match, the RFEF requires a minimum of 80,000 spectators. Conditions that right now only meet two stadiums in our country. These are the Camp Nou (99,354 spectators) and the Santiago Bernabeu (81,044). The Barcelona stadium was already the stadium for the opening match of the 1982 World Cup and the Madridista stadium hosted the grand final.

In addition to this condition, the stadiums must meet the requirements to be rated as Category 4-star stadiums. These stadiums must be made available to FIFA one month before the start of the World Championship.

In addition, these venues must have the minimum necessary complementary infrastructures, such as having an outdoor area adjacent to the Stadium with enough space to install all the complementary TV and security services. Also have parking areas near the Stadium with a minimum capacity of 5,000 spaces for organization on match days.
