The news came earlier than expected and unexpectedly: the Iberian candidacy made up of Spain, Morocco and Portugal was going to organize the 2030 World Cup. One match per country was reserved for the opposing proposal made up of Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. Spain now has to decide its stadiums, among which the Enrique Roca might not be, according to the Marca newspaper. It would be among the venues with the fewest options, along with Gran Canaria, Vigo, San Sebastián and Gijón.
There are 15 candidates for 10 seats. Those with the most options are Madrid (Bernabéu and Metropolitano), Barcelona (Camp Nou and Stage Front Stadium), Seville (La Cartuja), Bilbao (San Mamés), A Coruña (Riazor), Málaga (La Rosaleda), Zaragoza (La Nueva Romareda) and Valencia (New Mestalla). Spain, however, could still have an eleventh headquarters.
A remodeled field
Murcia aspires to be a World Cup player with a plan to expand the Enrique Roca to more than the required 40,000 spectators. The 250 lighting projectors would also be replaced with LED technology to reach 2,000 lux and photovoltaic panels would be installed on the roof to guarantee 65% renewable energy. In turn, there would be an annex building consisting of three floors that would be connected to the field, in addition to the conditioning of the rooms, hotels and improvement of access or 6,000 parking spaces plus those existing in the shopping centers.
