Trust in the organization of the 2030 World Cup has been significantly shaken due to document leaks and a lack of transparency regarding the selection of host cities. Some candidate cities, such as San Sebastián and Vigo, remain unofficially confirmed, causing concern among football officials.
FIFA maintains the right to alter decisions about host cities even after the project has been approved. To address any potential errors or uncertainties, an additional round of inspections of stadiums and cities will take place in the coming weeks.
This situation has been further complicated by a series of scandals, including interference by the Civil Guard in the Spanish national team and internal political conflicts within the Federation. These issues, along with a recent leak suggesting the possible exclusion of the “Metropolitano” stadium from the list of candidates, have raised doubts about the stability of the tournament’s organization.
FIFA may step in and revise the list of cities if necessary, putting the future of the 2030 World Cup in a state of uncertainty.
