Portuguese coach José Mourinho, who currently manages Real Madrid, expressed the desire for the 2030 World Cup final to be held in Lisbon, the city where he was born. However, the coach acknowledged that Madrid is the location that should host the decisive match of the competition.
Mourinho's position comes in the context of the organization of Mundial2030, which will be jointly hosted by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. This will be the first time the football World Cup will be held in three different countries and also the first time it will include African nations.
Real Madrid, the club Mourinho manages, has its stadium as one of the candidates to host the final. The Portuguese coach ultimately acknowledged that Madrid is the most suitable choice to host the decisive match, demonstrating professionalism despite his connection to Lisbon.
The 2030 edition also marks the centenary of the first World Cup competition, which took place in 1930 in Uruguay. Mourinho, known for his strong opinions on sports, balanced his affection for Lisbon with the logistical and sporting reality that points to Madrid as the host of the final.
