2023-10-31 18:13:23

In an unprecedented event in the history of football, The 2030 World Cup will be held in a total of six different countries, when there were always a maximum of two different territories as headquarters. Of course, it is not going to be just another tournament, which is why there are still some discussions and controversies among fans regarding the way in which it was decided to organize the World Cup.

Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Spain, Portugal and Morocco will be the organizing countries. The first three will host opening group stage matches and the rest of the competition will be played in the two European countries and the remaining African one. This was confirmed by Alejandro Domínguez, president of Conmebol, along with Claudio Tapia, boss of the AFA, and other leaders at a press conference a few weeks ago.

There is still no official designation or communication from FIFA regarding where Argentina will play its opening match in 2030, but all guns are pointed at the Monumental Stadium Being historically “the home of the National Team”, in Tapia’s own words, and above all for having hosted almost all the matches of the team led by Lionel Scaloni in recent times.

In the last few hours, FIFA released a document in which The requirements that the stadiums designated to host 2030 World Cup matches must meet are detailed point by point.. Among so many specific items regarding infrastructure, some stand out in which River surpasses the rest of the fields in the country and in Uruguay or Paraguay.

For example, the opening match and the final must be played no matter what in a stadium with 80,000 seats, a condition that River will fulfill perfectly once they finish placing them in the four stands. The other item that is fundamental and that would lead to a new change of image of the Monumental is the roof.

Can River roof the Monumental Stadium?

Cover: In principle, all stadium stands will be covered. If the stadium has a retractable roof, it must be possible to close or open it in a
game break
“says the FIFA guide. In short, if the Monumental is going to be designated as the headquarters, It must be coveredsomething that has not happened to this day but is in the plans.

The Millionaire Page announced a few months ago that River is considering the possibility of roofing the Monumental, but that the project is anchored to whether or not the field is designated as the venue for the 2030 World Cupthat’s why the next ones.

On the other hand, the installation of an exterior lighting system that gives a red and white tone to the stadium from the outside is being evaluated. Along these lines, the club assured this medium that There are no changes planned regarding the number of white and red seats. in the sectors where the seats are planned to be gray.

One of the renders that Rololfo D’Onofrio, former president of River, presented in 2013 regarding how the covered stadium would look. Their proposal included a one-piece, white roof that would be built from the ground with an exterior structure, connecting to the highest stands and rising above.

These days the work in the Monumental continues around the waterproofing of the stands for the subsequent placement of the gray seats. FIFA invests money in the organizing countries to have a proper competition and part of that money is used to improve the stadiums. In this way, the key to roofing the Monumental would be for it to be chosen to host the premiere of the Argentine National Team in the 2030 World Cup.
