Barcelona’s City Council does not hold back
The representative of the Barcelona City Hall insists that FC Barcelona’s stadium, currently under renovation, is the favorite to host the World Cup final, which will be co-hosted by Spain, Morocco, and Portugal. We have every chance to organize the final. This is not just us saying this, but the evaluation committee itself recognized us as the best technical candidate. We have the best city and the best stadium,
Escudé defends, hoping that FIFA will choose Spotify Camp Nou, which is competing with Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu and the Grand Stade Hassan II in Casablanca to host the final.
Currently, Madrid does not have enough available seats to host the final, according to the documentation related to the candidacies we received. The city of Barcelona, besides having the newest and largest stadium, also has an attractiveness that makes its candidacy very strong,
he added.
