A Red and White Gesture! Atlético Would Give Up Their World Cup Venue for Valencia
News that magnifies Atleti! Rafael Louzán, president of the RFEF, has confirmed that the red and white club has offered to give up hosting the 2030 World Cup so that Valencia can have its place.
A gesture of greatness that demonstrates Atlético’s sportsmanship and commitment to Spanish football! Louzán highlighted the generosity of Atlético, who would be willing to give up their “space” in the Metropolitano if necessary for the Nuevo Mestalla to become one of the World Cup venues.
This offer came after talks with club officials, who showed their willingness to collaborate so that Valencia is not left out of the World Cup party. The president of the RFEF also highlighted the work being done to make Valencia a venue, recognizing that it deserves it.

Atleti, as always, at the forefront and setting an example of fair play!
