🗳️ PP confirms manifesto pledge: 2030 World Cup final in Spain

🗳️ PP confirms manifesto pledge: 2030 World Cup final in Spain The People’s Party has sent shockwaves through Spanish football’s institutions after unveiling its election manifesto. The political party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo includes an unprecedented proposal: making Spain’s participation in the 2030 World Cup conditional on the final being played on home soil. The initiative comes at a time of heightened tension within the joint bid by Spain, Morocco and Portugal . With the stadium in Casablanca emerging as a strong contender against the Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou , the conservative party has opted to turn the choice of venue into a top political demand. The election manifesto also covers structural measures for elite sport. These include a substantial increase in public funding, tax incentives for private sponsorship and an urgent solution to legal gaps in Social Security contributions affecting many former sporting greats. A pledge at odds with FIFA rules? However, its warning over the tournament directly conflicts with international football’s regulatory framework. FIFA’s statutes strictly prohibit political interference in national federations, an infringement punishable by immediate exclusion from all official competitions. Political pressure is reaching football’s boardrooms. The challenge of hosting the 2030 tournament is shifting from a project built on consensus to a new battleground in the election debate.
