Lisbon doesn't need to ask for the final

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo11 September 2026 at 18:16

José Mourinho publicly expressed his preference for Madrid as the venue for the 2030 World Cup final, which will be jointly organized by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco.

In response to this position, the argument emerged that Lisbon does not need to request the competition final, arguing that the Estádio da Luz already has legitimacy to host it.

The text recalls that the Estádio da Luz, home of Benfica, has already hosted three finals of major international competitions, demonstrating its experience and capacity to host events of world magnitude.

The underlying message reinforces that Portugal does not intend to be treated as a lesser guest in this joint organization, but rather as a country with its own merit to host the most important moments of the tournament.
