According to Diario Sport, the controversy surrounding the host country of the World Cup final continues to escalate in Spain. The Spanish People's Party (PP) has sent a formal letter to the government criticizing its "inaction" on the issue and warning that it may consider withdrawing from the event's organization if the World Cup final ultimately cannot be held in Spain.
The report states that the letter was delivered by People's Party MP Borja Semer and received the support of People's Party Deputy Secretary-General Alma Escura. Currently, different political camps in Spain are putting pressure on the government regarding this issue.
In addition to the People's Party, the left-wing coalition Sumar and the right-wing Vox have also filed complaints with parliament, questioning the reliability of Morocco as a joint bidding partner and demanding its exclusion from the bidding process.
However, the Spanish government is still maintaining its current position, believing that Spain should take the lead in the competition to host the World Cup final, and plans to wait for a meeting with the event organizers in September to further advance the relevant work.
Meanwhile, FIFA President Gianni Infantino is also facing obstacles in pushing forward the proposal. Reports indicate that, given the disagreements with UEFA, neither the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) nor the CONCACAF (CONCACAF) has explicitly supported the arrangement. The final deciding factor may depend on the attitude of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
As the power struggle among various parties intensifies, the issue of where to host the World Cup final has evolved beyond a mere sporting discussion into a major political, diplomatic, and national image issue within Spain.
