According to Juanma Castaño, on the El Partidazo de COPE show, the Spanish Football Federation would now fear that the final slips away from Spain to be awarded to Morocco. A concern that would no longer be merely about stadium competition, but also about diplomatic power dynamics.

The Spanish journalist claims that Donald Trump is clearly pushing in favor of Morocco, considered a strategic partner of the United States. This supposed pressure would worry Madrid, especially since Spain still hopes to impose the Santiago-Bernabéu as the venue for the final.

Morocco, for its part, is betting on the future Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca. With an announced capacity of around 115,000 seats, this venue is designed to rival the world’s largest stadiums and support Morocco’s bid for the final match.

The battle is not limited to the final. Madrid and Casablanca would also be competing to host the 2030 World Cup International Press Centre. According to information reported in Spain, the Spanish capital would have set a condition: it would only want this centre if the final is played in Madrid. For Spain, losing the final would be a symbolic setback.
