Morocco claims 2030 World Cup final will be in Benslimane
Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, publicly declared that the Grand Stade Hassan II in Benslimane will host the 2030 World Cup final, speaking at an Authenticity and Modernity Party event in Bouznika. The stadium, under construction between Casablanca and Rabat, will have a capacity approaching 115,000 and a tent-inspired design, and builders expect to finish work in 2027. Lekjaa framed a Morocco-versus-France final as desirable. FIFA has not confirmed any venue, so the statement raises pressure in a competition with Spain, whose options include Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou.
Grand Stade Hassan II is claimed as potential 2030 final venue.
Context
