23 stadiums across three continents set to host 2030 World Cup

A roundup of all 23 stadiums confirmed or proposed for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which will be played across three continents for the first time. Eleven venues are in Spain, six in Morocco, three in Portugal, and one each in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay for the centenary opening matches. Four stadiums are entirely new, 11 are undergoing renovations, and eight require no major works. Key projects include the €1.5 billion Camp Nou expansion by Nikken Sekkei, IDOM, and B720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos; the 115,000-seat Grand Stade Hassan II near Casablanca by Populous and Oualalou + Choi; and the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires expanding to 101,000 seats by Schlaich Bergermann Partner and Fernandes / Arquitetos Associados. Other notable venues include the renovated Santiago Bernabéu by GMP Architekten, the parametric facade of Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat by Populous, and the historic Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, a FIFA Historical Monument. Common design trends include bringing stands closer to the pitch, adding roofs, VIP areas, LED facades, and adaptability for cultural events. The final decision on Nou Mestalla and Balaídos as venues is pending from FIFA.
