Football's world governing body ‌FIFA has yet to announce the venue ‌of the final, with Spain and Morocco in ‌a heated battle to host soccer's biggest showpiece ‌match.

"The province of Benslimane will have the honour of hosting the 2030 World Cup final," Fouzi ‌Lekjaa told a political party event ⁠in Bouznika, Morocco ‌on Thursday, EFE reported.

Benslimane is a city 60km ​from Casablanca and the site of the $12-billion Hassan II stadium, which is ​being built for the World Cup with a projected capacity of 115,000.It will be the ⁠largest football-specific ​stadium in the world.

Reuters has contacted FIFA and the Royal Spanish Football Federation for comment.

The next World Cup will be a unique event, with ‌games to be held across six countries in three continents for the first time. While the opening three games will take place in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the majority of the tournament is being hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

FIFA has yet to finalise all of the cities that ‌will host games, but both Morocco and Spain ​want the final.

"Spain should host the ‌final," Lekjaa's counterpart at the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Rafael Louzan, told local media earlier this month.

FIFA said in August that media reports saying President Gianni Infantino ⁠had promised the ⁠final to Morocco ‌was "false and misleading".
