The Enrique Roca stadium in Murcia “would be the chosen place” to play the group stage matches, according to community president Fernando López Miras
Community president Fernando López Miras confirmed on Wednesday that “the region of Murcia is on the shortlist to join UEFA’s candidacy for Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup.” “In this way, we aim to be one of the venues where the matches in the group stage of the World Cup are played,” he explains.
“Specifically, the Enrique Roca stadium in the city of Murcia would be the chosen place and along with it, the whole region of Murcia would benefit from hosting this great sporting event,” said the head of the regional executive, arguing that “we meet the demands made, both in terms of sports infrastructure and in terms of hotel offer, hospital beds and of course the international airport of the Murcia-Juan de la Cierva region, which continues to grow and is well prepared to accommodate the passenger traffic that this major world event with could entail”.
So, next to the Enrique Roca Stadium, the Pinatar Arena and La Manga Club facilities “have been called to host sub-venues for this World Cup.” For this reason, as López Miras has announced, the regional government will convene a meeting next week “with all agents concerned”, such as the Murcia City Council, the Real Murcia Football Club, La Manga Club and Pinatar Arena. The conclusions of that meeting will be taken to Madrid. “The work started a long time ago, maintaining contacts with the Royal Spanish Football Association and the Higher Sports Council, but of course there is still a long way to go and we are counting on everyone for that, how could it be otherwise”, he claimed.
“The goal has been set, the roadmap is clear and the Murcia region has of course already shown that it is capable of achieving everything it wants to do,” said López Miras. This pre-selection is, in the words of the president, “a source of joy and satisfaction for everyone, but we don’t stop there: we are going to put in all the determination and all the energy that characterize the citizens of this country to make that illusion come true.” no doubt it is shared by many».
He also stressed that “the region of Murcia is synonymous with work, effort and perseverance and in this country sport has always been associated with success, especially lately with a whole golden generation of athletes who give us so much joy”.
