World Cup stadium: FIFA hit with setback
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that FIFA was hit with a major setback after a World Cup stadium withdrew from hosting matches in the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
The 32,000-capacity Riazor Stadium, home to Deportivo de La Coruna, had initially been selected as one of the venues for the historic tournament. However, local authorities and the club have now confirmed the decision to step back from hosting duties, citing financial and sustainability concerns.
The development comes as FIFA continues preparations for a unique edition of the World Cup, which will be co-hosted across multiple continents. One of the key issues behind the withdrawal is FIFA’s strict stadium regulations. To host World Cup matches, venues are required to have a minimum seating capacity of 40,000.
