"Earlier today, FC Barcelona officially announced that they were entering the bidding process to host the 2029 UEFA Champions League final at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou. Soon after, reports emerged claiming that the Blaugrana were also working behind the scenes to secure the hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final at their stadium. However, Real Madrid are also in the race as they push to have the grand finale of the tournament played at the Santiago Bernabeu."
"One of the main elements boosting Barcelona's chances is economic. Once the renovation is completed, the Spotify Camp Nou will have a capacity of 105,000 spectators, compared to the 84,000 seats at the Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid. This represents a significant difference of 21,000 additional spectators. Ticket prices for major events have risen sharply in recent years. In the United States, for example, prices for the final at the MetLife Stadium on 19 July later this year have exceeded €3,000 per ticket. Based on average projections, FIFA believes it could generate more than €20 million in additional revenue if the final were held at Barcelona's stadium rather than in Madrid."

Barcelona is pursuing hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup final while Real Madrid also seeks to host the final at the Santiago Bernabéu. FIFA is assessing three stadium options: Santiago Bernabéu, Spotify Camp Nou, and Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca. The Mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, reaffirmed the city's determination to compete for the decisive match. Renovated Camp Nou will seat 105,000 versus Bernabéu's 84,000, a difference of 21,000. FIFA projects over €20 million additional revenue if the final is held in Barcelona.
