All 23 venues for every 2030 world cup stadium mapped
Twenty-three venues are lined up for the 2030 World Cup, spanning Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. Four stadiums will be brand new, eleven will be renovated, and FIFA has yet to confirm the final list or which 2030 world cup stadium will stage the final.
According to Dezeen's Future Stadium roundup, the tournament will use more stadiums than any previous World Cup and will stretch across three continents.
Key Takeaways
- Spain is expected to supply 11 venues, Morocco six, and Portugal three, plus one opening match each in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay.
- Four of the 23 stadiums will be entirely new; 11 face renovations; eight need no major works before 2030.
- Casablanca's Grand Stade Hassan II (planned 115,000 seats) is competing with Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu to host the final.
- Nou Mestalla in Valencia and Balaídos in Vigo are still awaiting FIFA confirmation, expected later in 2026.
- The tournament is due to run from June 8 to July 21, 2030, according to Sporting News reporting via Yahoo Sports.
Where will every 2030 world cup stadium be located?
Spain carries the largest share, with headline grounds including the renovated Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid and a redeveloped Camp Nou in Barcelona targeting 105,000 seats. Other Spanish sites include Seville's La Cartuja, Bilbao's San Mamés, Las Palmas, Zaragoza's Nueva Romareda, San Sebastián's Anoeta, Espanyol's RCDE Stadium and Madrid's Metropolitano.

Centenary openers are set for Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, the Monumental in Buenos Aires and the new Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium in Asunción.
Which new builds and renovations reshape the map?
Dezeen reports design trends repeating across projects: stands moved closer to the pitch, new roofs, VIP hospitality zones, multi-use adaptability, and LED facades. Camp Nou's €1.5 billion overhaul aims to make it Europe's largest stadium. Gran Canaria Stadium's "La Nube" roof project will lift capacity past 44,000.
Morocco's showcase is the Grand Stade Hassan II outside Casablanca, designed by Populous with Oualalou + Choi under a tented roof referencing traditional moussem festivals. Rabat's Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium opened in 2025 with a parametric LED facade. In Paraguay, the Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium's completion target has slipped toward 2029 amid delays.
Who is fighting to host the 2030 World Cup final?
Reuters reports Morocco and Spain are lobbying hard for the final while FIFA has not announced a venue. Spain's federation president Rafael Louzan has insisted Spain will host it; Morocco is pushing the $12-billion Hassan II project and notes match allocation will come only through talks among the three hosts and FIFA.
Yahoo Sports notes FIFA's working list still awaits a final decision, with the tournament opening June 8, 2030 and ending July 21 after the South American centenary fixtures. Until FIFA ratifies venues, two Spanish candidates—Valencia's Nou Mestalla and Vigo's Balaídos—remain unconfirmed.
