The Mestalla explodes against the assignment of places!

The RFEF dropped a bomb this Friday and both the Football Federation of Valencian Community As the Municipality of the city was the first to jump before the negative to include the third most populous city in Spain in the proposal of the national body to FIFA.

Valencia is, in fact, the city that hosts Spain’s first group stage matches in World Cup 1982, More than forty years ago, and now it seems certain that it will not host any matches of the 2030 World Cup, where Spain will take part in the competition with Portugal and Morocco. Although in Valencia they do not lose hope.

The Council of the City of Valencia assured in a statement that this was “only the proposal of the RFEF, but still remains informed about the Government of Spain”. Indeed, the council, governed by the PP, hopes that the Government, through the Higher Sports Council, will “reconsider this situation”.

“We are in more than enough time to arrive in the World Cup”, insists the council, where a World Cup without Valencia is unthinkable.

“Everyone agrees on necessary presence of the city and the Community in an event of this importance. “It is a mistake as a country that our land is not represented in the World Cup, because we say no to a land that has more than its proven capacity, both in terms of infrastructure and hotel capacity and connections, to host these events,” he said. the text insists.

The president of Football Federation of the Valencian Community (FFCV), Salvador Gomar, who assured that “no one in 2030 will remember if the documents were presented in March or July” and that “the third capital of Spain will be left behind, which also has all the infrastructure that requests FIFA . “

“Valencia, even though it’s late, have met the requirements before July 31,” Gomar said, stressing that this is the last day for the RFEF to file their candidacy book, with eleven days remaining.

In its part, The Generalitat Valenciana also asked the CSD to intervene and include Valencia as the venue for the World Cup, the third most populous city in Spain, after an “irrational and pointless argument by the RFEF” decision.

For the autonomous body, “the city of València is used to host large-scale sporting events, it has a good hotel infrastructure and a strong transport network with optimal connections”, and for this reason it encouraged the Royal Spanish Football Federation to “take back his decision because it can still be done and Valencia is in time to reach the World Cup.

All these criticisms of the RFEF were made after the Federation announced that the stadiums that will participate in that book that will be delivered to FIFA They will be Anoeta, Camp Nou, Gran Canaria, La Cartuja, La Rosaleda, Metropolitano, Nueva Romareda, RCDE Stadium, Riazor, San Mamés and Santiago Bernabéu, but not the Nou Mestalla.
