RFEF officials visit Ceuta and advocate for Spanish 2030 World Cup final

Rafael Louzán, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and national coach Luis de la Fuente visited Ceuta to show solidarity with the city following a recent migration crisis. During the visit, the officials presented the World Cup trophy to local authorities, marking the start of its tour across Spain.

Amid the visit, Louzán made strong assertions regarding the 2030 World Cup, which is being co-hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. He argued that Spain should host the tournament's final, citing the country's footballing success and its 55 percent share of the organizational responsibility. Louzán stated, “There is no logical explanation for Spain not to host the final,” while emphasizing that the decision ultimately rests with FIFA.

The visit has also drawn attention to the geopolitical tensions surrounding the joint bid, with some observers noting the political implications of using the sporting event to address regional issues in Ceuta.
