The moves Real Madrid has started to make to host the 2030 World Cup final

There is less and less time left for the start of the 2026 World Cup. A tournament that, like all past editions, promises to be full of emotions and matches that will go down in history.However, looking ahead to the 2030 World Cup, Real Madrid has devised a plan for Santiago Bernabéu to host the final of this historic tournament.

The plan outlined by the club is to expand the total capacity that Bernabéu currently has.The legendary stadium has more than 80,000 seats for all the people looking to attend Real Madrid matches.However, FIFA's requirements have led the club to seek to add 5,000 new seats.

With the goal of having a capacity for 85,000 people, Real Madrid's plan is to find a way to expand its attendance.A challenging task given the intentions of Barcelona and, above all, Morocco to host the World Cup final.

The Final Goal of Santiago Bernabéu

Undergoing a long remodeling process, Santiago Bernabéu became the most advanced stadium in the world.With several new amenities for all its attendees, its remodeling was a complete success. However, remaining true to the team's competitive spirit, the stadium continues to improve constantly.

Its ultimate goal is, clearly, to be the stadium that hosts a match as important as a World Cup final.Although the intention is evident, the club faces a Spotify Camp Nou that is estimated to exceed 100,000 seats.

Additionally, Morocco has made a multimillion-dollar investment to make history during the 2030 World Cup.With a budget of 459 million euros, the African country intends to build the largest stadium in the world, with a capacity for 115,000 spectators.
