Rafael Louzan, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, stated that Spain will host the final of the 2030 World Cup, which it is co-hosting with Portugal and Morocco. While FIFA has the final say, Louzan expressed confidence in Spain's organizational capabilities and leadership role in the tournament.
