Vinícius Calls for Relocation of 2030 World Cup from Spain Due to Racism Concerns

Vinícius Júnior, forward for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, expressed in an interview with CNN that Spain should not host the 2030 World Cup if the current situation regarding racism in the country does not improve.

The 2030 World Cup is set to take place in three countries: alongside Spain, Portugal and Morocco will also host matches. Additionally, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina are preparing to hold one opening match each.

Vinícius Júnior
Until 2030, we have a very large margin for change. I hope that Spain can evolve and understand how serious it is to insult a person because of the colour of their skin, because if in 2030 things haven’t changed, I think we have to change the venue of the World Cup, because if a player doesn’t feel comfortable or safe playing in a country where he can suffer racism, then it becomes very complicated.

On July 3, Marca reported that the final match of the 2030 World Cup will be held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, the home ground of the team.
