Spain (11)
Metropolitano
Atlético’s 70,692-seat stadium has already hosted a Champions League final (2019). Its participation in 2030 has been described as “in doubt” by the Spanish press.
Camp Nou
Mid-rebuild, the Camp Nou is reopening in stages: 62,652 seats licensed since March 2026, with a target of 104,600 covered seats by late 2027 – early 2028.
RCDE Stadium
Espanyol’s ground in Cornellà (40,500 seats) is the smallest Spanish venue; its proximity to the Camp Nou and its borderline capacity keep the doubts alive.
La Cartuja
Seville’s Olympic stadium went from 52,000 to 70,000 seats in 2025; the major works are scheduled for 2028, and public transport access remains the weak point.
San Mamés
“La Catedral” (53,331 seats) meets FIFA standards, but Bilbao has set out its conditions and has to make up its mind before November 2026.
Anoeta
Anoeta is going from 39,500 to 42,247 seats to reach the FIFA minimum; the city is still hesitating over taking part.
Nueva Romareda
Zaragoza’s new stadium (43,110 seats, €140 million) is taking shape: handover announced for the summer or the end of 2027.
Estadio de Gran Canaria
The Las Palmas stadium is to go from 32,418 to around 44,000 seats (the “La Nube” project); the first tender failed in July 2026.
Nou Mestalla
Work resumed in 2025 after sixteen years on hold: 70,044 seats, with handover targeted for July 2027. Put to FIFA in March 2026 as a replacement for Málaga.
Balaídos
The oldest ground on the list (1928) still has to reach 42,000 seats: an ambitious project, funding not secured, FIFA approval pending.
La Rosaleda
Málaga withdrew on 12 July 2025: bringing La Rosaleda up to standard was judged too risky for the club.
Riazor
A Coruña pulled out on 16 March 2026: a redevelopment costing more than €100 million and transport problems. Riazor will be modernised, but without the World Cup.
Portugal (3)
Estádio da Luz
Portugal’s largest stadium (68,100 seats) is to grow towards 80,000 seats by the end of 2029, in phases, without interrupting the season.
Estádio José Alvalade
Sporting’s stadium (52,095 seats), a neighbour of the Luz, is Lisbon’s second venue.
Estádio do Dragão
FC Porto’s stadium (50,033 seats), opened in 2003, has its own metro station.
Morocco (6)
Grand Stade Hassan II
At Benslimane, some forty kilometres from Casablanca, Morocco is building what is billed as the future largest football stadium in the world: 115,000 seats under a giant “tent”. A declared candidate for the final.
Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah
Completely rebuilt and reopened on 5 September 2025 with 69,500 seats, the Rabat stadium hosted the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Grand Stade de Tanger
Reopened on 14 November 2025 after two years of work, the Ibn Batouta stadium holds 75,600 — the largest in Morocco until Benslimane opens.
Grand Stade de Marrakech
Phase 2 under way: a full roof, upgraded stands and a rise from 40,500 to 45,860 seats, for MAD 883 million, targeting 2028.
Stade de Fès
The Fez stadium is to go from around 35,000 to 55,800 seats by 2028: running track removed, new roof, new west building.
Grand Stade d’Agadir
The Adrar stadium (41,800 seats) is preparing phase 2 — a 360° panoramic roof and 46,000 seats — with a new trambus running in the city since 2026.
Uruguay (1)
Estadio Centenario
The ground that staged the first final in history (1930) is due to host the centenary opening match. Its renovation, costed at $120 million to $180 million, is not funded.
Argentina (1)
Estadio Monumental
Work started in June 2026: the Monumental will go from 85,018 to 101,000 seats, with a full roof, for $145 million. Handover in 2029.
Paraguay (1)
Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb
Olimpia’s new stadium (46,000 seats, the largest in Paraguay) is to rise on the site of the old ground, now demolished; the opening is announced for 2029.
