Madrid mayor says Spain should reconsider its role if it loses the final

Kooora, citing Mundo Deportivo, reports that Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida renewed his call for Spain to host the 2030 final. He said being denied the match would be a direct insult to the country and should prompt it to reconsider its role in organizing the tournament. Almeida personally backs Madrid, but said he would be happy for another Spanish city to host—and named Barcelona if Madrid isn’t selected. He also said Spain’s bid received FIFA’s highest infrastructure rating, citing the Bernabéu and Metropolitano. His warning is a personal position, not a decision by Spain to withdraw.
