Andrés Iniesta, the legendary Spanish midfielder who clinched a World Cup and two European Championships with La Roja, has hailed the 2030 World Cup – set to be co-hosted by Morocco, Spain, and Portugal- as having “all the elements to be a great success.”
In an interview with Spanish radio Cadena Ser, Iniesta expressed confidence in the tournament’s potential to be a “major turning point” for global football, emphasizing the unique cultural diversity of its host nations.
“This would be the first World Cup bridging continents, uniting such distinct cultures under the banner of football,” said the former FC Barcelona star. “It’s a universal sport, and hosting the most prestigious tournament in a way that embraces diversity can only add to its dynamism.”
Iniesta, a leading ambassador for the 2030 bid, compared the project to Spain’s hosting of the 1982 World Cup, noting: “The impact is tangible; we’ve lived it. But the reach of this bid is even greater.”
Now retired from professional play and eyeing a future coaching career, Iniesta sees the tournament as a unique platform to unite cultures while celebrating a sport beloved worldwide. “Football brings nations together, and this event is an ideal opportunity to foster that unity on a truly global stage,” he added.
Iniesta highlighted the shared football passion between Spain, Morocco, and Portugal, along with the advanced transport infrastructure linking the venues, which he believes will simplify travel for fans.
He also pointed to the favorable time zone for the three countries, ensuring “ideal broadcast times for viewers in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas,” enabling “optimal global reach.”
The former Spanish captain voiced his enthusiasm for the bid’s ambition to deliver “the best World Cup in history” while championing values of respect and unity.
“This is a rare chance to bring people together, inspire young talent in host countries and worldwide, and highlight the spirit of sportsmanship,” Iniesta concluded.
