Mourinho would like the 2030 World Cup final in Lisbon but says it should be in Madrid

Correio da Manhã11 September 2026 at 16:56

The Portuguese coach José Mourinho commented on the possibility of Lisbon hosting the 2030 World Cup final. Mourinho stated that he liked the idea of the final taking place in the Portuguese capital, acknowledging the sentimental appeal of that choice.

However, the Portuguese coach highlighted that the ideal location to host the final should be Madrid. Mourinho argued that Real Madrid's stadium has the perfect conditions to host the decisive match of the competition.

The 2030 World Cup will be co-organized by three countries: Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. This joint hosting decision marks a historic moment in the organization of football World Cups.

Mourinho's position arises in the context of the debate about the distribution of matches and main events of this trilateral competition, which involves complex logistical and infrastructural preparations among the three host countries.
