Mourinho would like the 2030 World Cup final in Lisbon, but says Bernabéu "should" host the game

SOL11 September 2026 at 16:22

José Mourinho expressed his opinion on the location of the 2030 World Cup final. The Portuguese coach stated that the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid should host the decisive game of the tournament.

However, Mourinho admitted he would like to see the final take place in Lisbon. These statements come in the context of the announcement that the 2030 World Cup will be jointly organized by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco.

FIFA clarified that it has not yet made any decision about which stadium will host the final of the competition. The choice of the venue for the decisive game thus remains open.

The 2030 World Cup marks a historic moment as it is organized in three different countries, with Portugal, Spain, and Morocco together hosting the tournament.

Why this matters

Football fans now have the opinion of an iconic figure in world sports about an event of great relevance for Portugal. Although FIFA has not yet decided, the possibility of Lisbon hosting the 2030 World Cup final remains on the table, which keeps the expectation alive among Portuguese supporters.
