The Bernabéu and the Camp Nou compete for the final

José Luis Martínez-Almeida has defended before FIFA that the World Cup final be held at the Bernabéu and that several World Cup matches be played at the Metropolitano. Real Madrid has also done its diplomatic work in this regard. The Spanish Government, on the contrary, has not proposed the Bernabéu as the venue for the 2030 final because it is tied by the twenty votes of Catalan parties in Congress, who reject the proposal for the Real Madrid stadium.
