FIFA is aiming to hold the 2030 World Cup final at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, Real Madrid is hesitant to give up its stadium for such an extended period due to significant financial implications. While the club understands the prestige and significance of hosting a World Cup final, reaching an agreement is crucial for the 2030 project. Discussions are already underway between the two entities, which are also negotiating about the 2025 Club World Cup.

Finding a solution that allows both FIFA and Real Madrid to use the stadium is key, and both parties remain optimistic. If the FIFA Congress ratifies the 2030 World Cup as expected in December, the Bernabéu is set to be a focal point, similar to its role in the 1982 World Cup.

The relationship between Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and FIFA president Gianni Infantino is excellent, as evidenced by Pérez’s recent attendance at a luncheon in Paris celebrating FIFA's 120th anniversary. Real Madrid’s historical connection to FIFA, as one of its founding entities, also plays a role in these discussions.
