Jose Mourinho Prefers Lisbon as 2030 World Cup Final Venue Amid Morocco Claims
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho expressed his preference for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final to be held in Lisbon, citing the city's historic stadium and football legacy. His remarks followed comments by Royal Moroccan Football Federation president Fouzi Lekjaa, who claimed Morocco's Grand Stade Hassan II would host the final, a statement later denied by FIFA. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are set to co-host the 2030 tournament, with the final venue yet to be officially decided.
