The Santiago Bernabéu is moving closer to hosting the 2030 World Cup final. According to OK Diario, Real Madrid's stadium has emerged as the clear favourite over Camp Nou to become Spain's candidate for the tournament's showpiece match.

The Bernabéu has several major advantages. Its fully renovated infrastructure, state-of-the-art technology, organizational capabilities and international profile place it in a strong position. The recent NFL game held at the stadium provided an impressive demonstration of its potential, with the venue undergoing a complete transformation within a relatively short period to accommodate the event.

Camp Nou, meanwhile, remains unfinished. Barcelona have reportedly requested an additional €300 million to complete the construction work, while the final completion date remains uncertain. This situation could weaken the stadium's chances of being selected as Spain's candidate.

However, the race is far from over. The final decision rests with FIFA, while Spain also faces competition from Morocco, which hopes to host the match at the planned Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca. For now, though, the Bernabéu appears to have the upper hand in the battle to represent Spain.
