Football: Basque Cities, Bilbao And San Sebastian, Unite For Bid To Host 2030 World Cup
FIFA World Cup: The cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian in Spain's Basque region have formally joined forces in a single bid to host matches at the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which will be staged in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
The local authorities of both cities and the Basque regional government said on Monday that "the institutions of both host cities have been working seriously and rigorously for four years to become hosts of the 2030 World Cup and will continue along the same path in the subsequent phases."
According to the Basque institutions, it was decided that instead of maintaining two separate bids, as had initially been the case, "in a process of consultation between both venues... to present FIFA with a single budget outlining the aspects they would be willing to undertake, considering that both venues would be combined into a single venue," with each stadium hosting two group-stage matches, reports Xinhua.
