Malaga has pulled out of the race to host 2030 World Cup matches, according to beIN Sports network sources. The Spanish coastal city's sudden exit clears the path for Valencia to step into the spotlight with their shiny new Mestalla Stadium. Valencia will join nine other Spanish cities vying for tournament glory when the global football spectacle arrives. The original lineup featured Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Malaga, La Coruña, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Las Palmas, and Zaragoza as potential hosts. Spain's withdrawal leaves the door wide open for Valencia to cement their place among the chosen venues.

The 2030 tournament will see Spain team up with Portugal and Morocco in a three-nation hosting bonanza. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has already locked down plans to stage the final at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Spanish media outlet Marca revealed that Pérez sealed the deal for the ultimate showdown at Madrid's iconic venue. The Santiago Bernabéu stands as the frontrunner to host the championship match amid fierce competition. Morocco's bid threatens to steal the final away from Spanish soil, setting up a dramatic battle between the two nations for football's biggest prize.
