World Cup 2030 host cities: every city in Spain, Portugal and Morocco (plus the centenary venues)

What is confirmed and what is not

FIFA confirmed the stadium list in December 2024 when it awarded the tournament; two Spanish candidates, Málaga and A Coruña, later withdrew (July 2025 and March 2026), which is how Spain arrived at 11 stadiums in nine cities. Wikipedia and Olympics.com carry the same 23-venue list as this site. What FIFA has not yet published: the match schedule, which rounds each city hosts, the venue of the final (Madrid or Casablanca), the location of the opening ceremony and the final draw date.

Spain: nine cities, 11 stadiums

Madrid and Barcelona each have two venues. Madrid's Bernabéu is one of the two candidates for the final; Camp Nou, being rebuilt to around 105,000 seats, is the largest ground in Spain. Las Palmas, on Gran Canaria in the Atlantic, is the only host city outside mainland Europe and Africa apart from the South American three. Valencia's Nou Mestalla and Zaragoza's La Romareda are new or rebuilt stadiums due to be finished before 2030.

Portugal: two cities, three stadiums

Portugal reuses the three largest grounds from Euro 2004: Benfica's Estádio da Luz and Sporting's Alvalade in Lisbon, and Porto's Dragão. All three are existing stadiums, so Portugal is the host with the least construction ahead of it.

Morocco: six cities, six stadiums

Morocco's six venues were all used or upgraded for AFCON 2025, except the Grand Stade Hassan II, a new stadium being built at Benslimane outside Casablanca with a planned capacity of around 115,000 — which would make it the largest football stadium in the world and is Morocco's candidate for the final. Tangier, on the Strait of Gibraltar, is roughly an hour's ferry crossing from southern Spain, the shortest link between the two continents.

Centenary cities: Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Asunción

Each South American city hosts a single match on the opening days from June 8, 2030, before the tournament moves to Europe and North Africa. FIFA has not confirmed which teams play in them beyond the assumption that each host plays at home, nor how the 10,000 km transfer to the main tournament is scheduled.

Getting between host countries

Spain and Portugal share a land border and a rail and motorway network; Lisbon–Madrid is about an hour by air. Morocco is reached from Spain by ferry (Algeciras or Tarifa to Tangier) or by short flights from Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon and Seville to Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakesh and Tangier. Morocco is on UTC+1 year-round, while Spain and Portugal run on Central and Western European Summer Time in June and July (UTC+2 and UTC+1), so kick-off times will need care once the schedule is published.
