The RFEF is still waiting in the city of Valencia so that the City Council and the Valencia reach an agreement and the club will end up sending the Stadium Agreement, an agreement the entity must send to the RFEF in the next few hours if it wants to host the 2030 World Cup.
The Spanish Football Federation has not yet published the venues because it wants València, the third city in Spain by population, to be one of them, but it cannot wait much longer and if it does not send the signed agreement in the next few hours , Valencia will remain without a World Cup.
The city was one of the important places for the 82 World Cup and, in fact, hosted three matches of the Spanish team in the first group stage, although it seems that this importance will not be the same in 2030, because the Spain has a lot of new stadiums and Valencia, which is still to be finished, has been stopped for fifteen years now.
This is the focus of disagreement between the City Council and the entity led by Peter Lim. The municipal government of PP and Vox do not want Meriton Holdings to have urban benefits until they complete the construction of the stadium that Lim has already promised for the centennial year.
However, the form of Lim’s ‘blackmail’ is that if these benefits to the city do not exist through the tertiary concession of a land attached to the Mestalla, the stadium will not be there in 2030.
So, the key for now to unblock the case is for the City Council to now grant the Nou Mestalla a construction license, something that could happen in the coming days, while PP and Vox continue to talk in an agreement.
The mayor of València, María José Catalá, assured this Wednesday that the negotiations between the PP and Vox to approve an agreement with the Nou Mestalla are “very advanced”, to prevent Valencia from recovering the benefits on August 3 when unconditional developments it has in the expired Strategic Territorial Action (ATE).
“Right now, the two partners of the government, Vox and the Popular Party, are still in negotiations. We are very advanced in these negotiations but I am a very serious person in negotiations and while I am negotiating I do not talk about it,” said by Catalá, which has been in negotiations for two years. Weeks has indicated that August 3 will not come without decisions being made, although now that date is too late for the RFEF, which needs a response now.
