The Generalitat and the Valencia City Council have reported that this Friday they will send FIFA their support for the candidacy for the city to be one of the venues for the 2030 World Cup despite the fact that Valencia CF announced that it will not do so.
The regional government confirmed that this Friday, the last day of the deadline, it will present its signed part and the same did the council, which assured that it maintains its “roadmap” for the project.
The Mestalla club, as EFE learned, considers that it does not have the necessary certainties to become co-responsible for the candidacy as owner of a Nou Mestalla and remembers that if the stadium is not finished on time it could have to take responsibility for the fines.
The club believes that it is not sure when the Valencia City Council will grant it the license to resume the works and that, therefore, it does not know when it could begin. Likewise, he points out that he has no certainty about whether the town council will approve the urban planning documents that allow him to have urban planning benefits.
The Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Generalitat explained that the club has attributed its decision to the agreement reached on Wednesday in the urban planning commission of the city council.
In that commission, with the votes of PP and Vox, government partners, and Compromís, promoter of the proposal, it was approved to request an independent audit to establish the cost of the new Nou Mestalla project that Valencia has presented in order to determine what guarantees The club is asked “to ensure the total cost of the works and that they will not stop again.”
In addition, the government partners approved alone “for legal certainty” to postpone any other issue related to Valencia until the ruling on the club’s appeal to the early expiration of the Strategic Territorial Action that covered the new stadium was known on March 6.
