Ultimately, Coruña will not be a host city for the 2030 World Cup, and the main reasons are related to a long-term project that would have put the city in debt.
They also announced a renovation of the Riazor stadium, where World Cup matches would have been played, but in the words of the mayor, that would have been important for a few days, and the project being pursued is more ambitious.
They wanted A Coruña to be a World Cup host, but not at any cost, the mayor noted. Now it remains to be seen if another venue in Galicia will aim to be part of the 2030 World Cup.
