- The revamped Camp Nou is projected to seat about 104,600–105,000 by 2030, compared with roughly 84,000 at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu.
- Morocco remains a contender through Casablanca’s under-construction Stade Hassan II, which is planned for approximately 115,000 seats.
- FIFA has evaluated the three venues, with reports citing a 4.3 out of 5 score, and a final-venue decision is expected by 2028, while some in Madrid believe Infantino’s ties with Florentino Pérez could bolster the Bernabéu’s case.
